Valve Spring Compression Tool
CF,
I'm gathering up parts/tools to do the valve sprig swap on my Z. Can anyone give me a pointer on where I can get the valve spring compression tool that does 2 valve springs at once? I saw a Proform version that retails for about $80 plus but it's not available anywhere yet, and there's another one on that online auction site that goes for about $110. Anywhere else I can get one? Please help a CF brother out.
Thanks.

Peace of mind achieved today Thanks to BHRz06!!
Swapped out my valve springs today with the help of fellow CF member BHRZ06, who is a straight up master technician with the LS engines. His quick thinking saved me from a potential head removal when I forgot to put some air in a cylinder before removing its 2 valve springs!! I owe you one Kyle!!
For those contemplating swapping out your stock valve springs, the Crane Cams valve spring compressor tool (or its equivalent) is one awesome piece of gear you cannot do without, and is worth every penny...
