Guys that have changed their springs before, what spring compessor tool did you use? I have a NAPA spring compressor and used it today on some PI heads I took apart to port and I had a tough time getting the springs off. I have a buddy with a 2000 GT who is wanting me to put cams and springs in his car and I want to have the best/easiest tool for the job. Thanks guys.

I use the trick flow one, I used to sell them but by the time I get them to me it costs me more than the sale price. If you want to pay shipping too I have one but otherwise I have quit selling them unless shipping with other stuff. $32 part costs me $37 and sells for $32 just doesn't work out to sell them.

I see, let me look them up and check it out. Hopefully it is easier than the one I used.

I looked it up, looks like it will work better than what I used. The one I used kept popping off on me. I will have to get one of these when the time gets here, hopefully soon. Thanks Alan.

The car I will be putting cams in the heads will be left on the car. My heads are on the bench. Turbong I have seen the one you linked to on Summit Racings site and yes they are nice.
