Anyone have a really good valve spring compressor that could pull some springs for maybe a 12 pack?

I bought some SBC heads that are set up with some crazy springs. My Craftsman C compressor doesn't seem strong enough to do it safely.

I can get a few clicks down but not quite enough to get the locks out.

Thanks!

I have one of bought for the ls1 but I have my doubts it would have worked for you. Glad to hear you got them.

I bet one of the guys here could fab something up.
