So i was going about my daily business when I noticed the firehawk just wasn’t running right. So i took off the valve covers. ![http://www.jandjspeedshop.com/images/TurboLS1%20Build/Broken%20Valve%20spring%203.JPG](http://www.jandjspeedshop.com/images/TurboLS1%20Build/Broken%20Valve%20spring%203.JPG) ![http://www.jandjspeedshop.com/images/TurboLS1%20Build/Broken%20Valve%20spring%202.JPG](http://www.jandjspeedshop.com/images/TurboLS1%20Build/Broken%20Valve%20spring%202.JPG) Just in case you missed it. ![http://www.jandjspeedshop.com/images/TurboLS1%20Build/Broken%20Valve%20spring%201.JPG](http://www.jandjspeedshop.com/images/TurboLS1%20Build/Broken%20Valve%20spring%201.JPG) Who needs exhaust anyway.

> [@Studderin](#): > > whats a vavle spring puller? I don’t remember the technical term, but its a claw like tool that compresses the spring so you can take it off. Thats what I used for bobby’s cam install, was a pimp as tool, not too bad to use either. I do however have a bunch of cuts and what not on my arm :tup: stupid roomless 4th gens ---

I don’t know what would have caused it. Very perplexing. I hope it was just defective. Although, oddly enough the plug wire to #4 seemed also to be defective. We have the LS1 valve spring tool. It does one cylinder (both springs) at a time using the lifter stud location. thanks tho! ---

It does one cylinder (both springs) at a time using the lifter stud location. thanks tho! I had a similar thing happen to my Mustang with a previous set of heads. I just chalked it up to bad luck that it broke…sometimes parts hold up, sometimes they take a dump and leave you screwed. There was no indication before putting them in, they all had the same spring pressure before I installed them…so ya, it is wierd when one goes. ---
