i was wondering what would you guys use to compress valve springs...either the LS1 in Car Valve Spring Compressor or the Crane Cams compressor, the crane cams model looks easier but i never tried any of them so i wanted to get some expert opinions.

I used the crane tool and I highly recommend it. It made the job much easier. I think it took about an hour and a half to do them all, and it was my first time. It works awesome and there is no threat of stripping bolts in the head since the tool takes all the torque applied.

For the most recent install, I went to Sears, bought their $16 valvespring compressor, cut 4" off the stud, threaded two nuts on it and called it a day. Worked great and took about 2 hours to do the springs.
