Default NEEDED: LS1 cam swap tools.

I am about to swap out my cam in the next weeks here and was wondering if anyone had a spring compressor, three armed pulley puller, or cam degreeing wheel that I could borrow or rent. I dont have the cash to buy all these tools at the moment and I was hoping a few of you out there had one or more of these laying around. I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks

Steve

Have you happened to look at "tims tool" sold on here for your springs? Its a very inexpensive spring tool that works great especially for the tight fitment under the cowl area. I can get you a link if u cant find it.

degree wheel? Cam is just dot to dot, unless you are not installing it straight up for whatever reason?

That was going to be option B if you know what I mean, thought I would post first and see and then I was going to order that if no one had one near me that I could borrow. Thanks for the info though.

I know but it is best to degree the cam to make sure because I had mind custom ground from comp and they sent me the wrong one the first time around so I would rather be 100% sure. Plus I have it advanced 4* and its probably not exactly 4.00*. If I cant find one, I will try dot to dot first and see if it runs okay before I buy one.
