Valve spring compressor tool My car is an all stock 03 Z06. I recently broke a valve spring. I bought PAC 1218s to replace the factory springs and the Crane Cams valve spring compressor tool. I ordered the tool that fits 97 and up LS1/LS6 engines. According to the instructions, it fits all Gen III, Gen IV, LT1, and Chevy small blocks except for the LS7. The problem is that it doesn't line up with the mounting holes for the rocker arms. Did I get sent the wrong tool or am I doing something incorrectly?
That looks to be the wrong tool. I found on Crane's website that the took for gen 2 and 3engines are different by 1 number, you mustve ordered or got sent the wrong one.

I got it figured out. I ordered the right tool, but Jegs sent me the LS3 tool. The part number on the box and instructions matched the LS1/LS6 tool, but it was the LS3 tool. So I sent it back and they sent me another. Same thing happened, right box, right instructions, wrong tool. I called Jegs and they offered to drop ship one from the manufacturer because they are out of stock, but they had no idea when that would be. I didn't even get an apology. I guess Jegs is so big that they don't care about individual customers. So I canceled the order and ordered the tool from Summit.
Thanks for the help
