Just ordered mine for the LT1. I broke one of my K-1100 valve springs and need the tool to install a new set.

Tim, the tool I received has what looks like the ARP 7/16ths rocker stud instead of the threaded rod/stud depicted in your image on the first page. I have a solid roller with the K-Motion dual spring (part number: K-1100) and the stud in the kit is not tall enough to have any threads showing thru the plate once everything is in place. Just thought I'd mention this so that may be an additional criteria you might ask of the customers (regarding the spring type). I went to the hardward store and bought a 7/16ths coarse carriage bolt of suitable length and cut off the head. It works well enough but the soft metal of the bolt binds a bit on the plate fairly often. It's all good though. Thanks again for the clever and useful tool.

Thanks for the heads up as I appreciate it. The LTx version tool is different then the LSx version with some of its hardware and procedure. As an F.Y.I. I have a seperate thread for my LTx version if anyone else is interested.

Thanks,
Tim

Payments were received. Just waiting for the e-check to clear a-low and your tool will be on its way.

Have plenty in stock ready to ship.

Thanks,
Tim

Would you please supply a link to the LTx version thread? I tried a search, but it crashed on me multiple times.
Thanks.
