I just need it to swap on some Patriot dual springs onto a set of L92 heads. I don't need it for long. Let me know, thanks.

Bump.
I'll even let you hold onto my Crane LS1 valve spring compressor tool as collateral.

cut up a socket and weld on only the 3/8" drive portion of the socket onto the side of the rocker, so you can use a 3/8 ratchet to get leverage to push down on the spring... then cut the arm off of the rocker arm then weld to metal tabs the with of the retainer and with the proper offset.... then bingo you have a nice tool... thank cj for the idea he came up with it...
