I just ordered tims valve spring tool. People that use it swear by it. it's only 32 bucks.

Search for it on ls1tech and you'll find the post about it.

Where do you live? I might be willing to let you use mine for a little cash make an offer. I have the crane tool it works great, doing 2 springs at a time is nice.

Hope it doesn't look like this, if it does don't use it. It could cause damage to your valve springs that results in premature breakage.
