spring compressor hey guys, i was told that some members here on the board have made their own ls1 spring compressors for like $20 instead of buying a new one for over $100.
Does anybody have one? or at least a drawing/print, something? I work in a machine shop, would this be something i could throw together?
I'm thinking about doing my first cam swap this winter, so I'm just trying to learn everything before i start buying parts
thanks guys!

cool, thats a simple enough part
would anybody mind sending me deminsions or something of the parts. I don't plan to make these to sell, just to do my own personal cam swap
hope i don't ruffle any feathers!

There is a guy in the tools section selling them with a hardened bolt for $40. Probably a good idea. I made my own & I went through 6 grade 8.8 bolts doing my springs.
Bolt is 8mm x 1.25 thread x 2.5" long

i've used almost a half dozen different spring compressors, ranging from 20 bucks to 200 bucks. hands down the bests one is the crane/vhp spring tool, you'll never use anything else again. you cant put a price on a proper tool IMO.
