Saturday, February 11, 2012 6:52 PM
Just changed out the valve springs in an LSJ, couldnt seem to find any pics or video of how to do it easily so i made a couple very short videos for anyone interested.
this is how to change the valve springs with the engine still in the car. Hope this helps someone

Somewhere I have the GM J tool for Eco valve springs. Very easy to use.

Sorry Brad, but some things about the Eco are nicer.

Which compression tool did you use?

I Used the compression test gauge that i got autozone, simply pop off the gauge end and remove the shrauder valve with a needle nose plyer and you can hook it up to an air compressor line and fill the cylinder.
If you have the compression tool, the valve spring compressor tool, and the Cam gear tool this job really wont take you long at all.
