Vavle spring tool HELP

hey all,

i'm in the middle of swapping out my vavle springs.. i ordered the proform dual valve spring tool (67605) and it doesnt work.. the allen bolts are too short and even if i used the stock rocker bolts, the whole unit seems too tall once installed to compress the spring.. after contacting Proform, they said i have an LS3/7/9 tool.. i've read on the forum that many ppl used this tool to swap out their springs.. if anyone has used this tool with success, plz let me know..

thanks

Vinnie

How does this tool differ than the LS1/6 tool, or didn't they tell you? Also, any photos as that might help.

mine worked great for me, I just measured my allen bolts at 1.5", thats from tip to tip, and the body of the tool itself is a lil over 3/4" thick, for comparison.
