This tool sucks. Is there any better way to keep this thing from slipping?

WTF is that- a valve spring compressor? If so, it's the wrong one for an LS- based engine. I'll send you mine if you want to borrow it, as long as you send it back when you're done. USPS 2-day priority is only about $6. It looks like this and works great. PM me if you're interested. They're about $30.

I'll 2nd that tool. Works like a charm even on dual springs..just lube the threads with oil as you go so you don't gall the threads..

Nice gesture there Rocket.

Damn. Wish I had that tool back in 98 when I was swapping springs in my ls1. I had a snap on much like bombsquads and a ****** compressor. Ended up dropping a valve when the ancient compressor gave up the ghost. Was able to bump the starter and get it back, but boy oh boy.

Picked up the driver door the other day and cleaned it up, it's pretty clean no rust along the bottom edge might repaint it down the road but looks 100x better then the door on there now hopefully putting it on this week
