Default New Cam Is Installed

Finally got my new comp cam 230/232 .592/.595 113 installed today along with LS2 chain, new springs, titanium retainers and hardened push rods. I used the crane dual valve spring compressor and that damn thing is the best tool I have ever used. It is geometrically machined to compress and center both springs evenly over the valve stems. This tool is absolutely the best spring compressor on the market, IMO. I still have to install the water pump, radiator etc. and we should be ready to rock and roll.

+1 on that valve spring compressor worth every bit of $100 to me.

I bet that you will probably ballpark those numbers.
