Review on πŸ”§ Lisle 16560 Valve Spring Compressor: Ideal Tool for GM LS Engines by Patrick Hamilton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good for 1-3 uses, threaded rod wears out quickly

I only replaced one set of springs and the threads are already worn out. The stock LQ9 springs have been replaced with LS6 springs, eliminating the need for monster springs to weigh down the tool. Both sets have very soft seat springs. Properly lubricate whatever is used to reduce friction and wear. I would only recommend it if you plan to use it multiple times or even just once. Lisle is guaranteed, but consider the time, hassle, and shipping cost of a replacement.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
