which valve spring compressor for lt1?
i got the one from the tool forum here , it's called 'tim's tool' search for it. was 40 shipped.
It let's you do one spring at a time and you can do it in the car. If I need to do this again, I think I would invest in the crane lt1 tool if I could find one so I can do two at the same time.

ya I've seen it. i live in canada as well so by the time i pay shipping it gets pretty expensive. kinda hoping theres some generic tool that will work that i can go to the store and buy and take back if it breaks or doesnt work.

I know you said you didn't want to spend a lot of money, but the Crane tool is the ****. The Tim's tool works, but its a heck of a lot harder to set up and align than the Crane tool.
Don't cheap out, the rear springs will make you pull your hair out with a cheap generic tool.

Buy one of these and just cut it down and bend it to make it work.
