I have a Crane dual spring compressor from my LS days... will it work on a LT? Never had the valve covers off a LT motor.

Looks like the LT heads have no rocker arm pedestals and it's all part of the head? If so, the LS tool won't work.

Correct. Won’t work. Need the actual LT specific one. Bluegrass Performance sells one. I have it, works great.
