Default Anyone in SE Michigan have "Tim's" Valve Spring tool for the LT1?

I've been trying to check whether my #5 exhaust valve is bent after one of the POS Comp 918 springs broke. I've tried every other tool available but the crow bar type doesn't work and the KD type doesn't work on dual valve springs. I tried to contact the guy in Livonia that sells "Tim's Tool" but he must be out of town for the long weekend. Does anyone have this tool that I could rent from them for a few days? I was really hoping to get this checked out this weekend, as its really the only time I'll have for a month (getting married in two weeks). Thanks gents!

The Crane Cams tool would work too. Happy to pay a rental fee.

Just fabricate your own. Thats what I did for my swap and it worked perfect. Get some measurements and cut it out.
