Lingenfelter Valve Spring Compressor Tool - Corvette & GM LS Engines
Asking $35. Shipping $10 USPS Priority Mail.
Very good condition - Used only once to install new valve springs in my 02 Corvette Z06. Purchased this around 2007 from Lingenfelter.
In the box:
Lingenfelter valve spring compressor and detailed instructions.
Lingenfelter sells their new ones for $80 on their website.
This is the tool needed to remove/re-install the valve springs for LS engines, especially the springs adjacent to the firewall or underneath the cowl, since the normal tall and long valve spring tools cannot reach in that typically inaccessible area (such as in a C5 Corvette).
"In-car valve spring changes have never been easier for LS engines. This valve spring compression tool works on C6 Corvette, C5 Corvette, F Bodies and all LS1 powered vehicles. The main body is made of billet aluminum and incorporates a steel roller bearing trunion for ease of operation. This tool is designed to work with any 3/8" ratchet wrench - add a 3/8 extension for valve springs which are difficult to reach, such as against the firewall (where all of the normal spring compressors cannot reach). Will work on factory conical valve springs, along with aftermarket 1.25 OD spring/retainer sets. For anyone changing camshafts with more than .500 valve lift , this tool is a must. Not suggested to be used to change springs with the engine in the car for 5 Gen Camaro LS3."
