Valve Spring Compressor
I would like to borrow a Valve Spring Compressor in order to replace the springs on my C5Z as a preventive measure; will pay shipping to zip code 32407 and back. Thank you.

I went with GM performance (blue in color). My garage air compressor had a faulty electrical switch, which I ordered. Once I fix the air compressor and replace the valve springs I will let you know.

Paul 75 L82, I thought the TDC method wasn't necessary on the LS engines? I used that method on my LT1 but didn't when I did springs on the LS6. I just torqued all the rockers to 22 ft lbs. That was one of the greatest features of this motor IMO.
I used the GM blue/LS2 and newer style springs when I changed mine out. Got them from Gene at GMpartshouse, they were only like $80 shipped.
