Product Description
Gen V LT Valve Spring Compressor Tool for GM Gen V 5.3L & 6.2L Engines
Bluegrass Performance Part BPPLT1 | Designed Specifically for Gen V LT Platforms
The Bluegrass Performance BPPLT1 Valve Spring Compressor Tool is a must-have specialty tool for servicing Gen V GM LT engines. Unlike universal compressors, this tool features a platform-specific design that seats correctly on Gen V cylinder heads, allowing safe and controlled valve spring removal and installation. Ideal for spring upgrades, camshaft installs, or valvetrain service, this tool is engineered to work with LT-based 5.3L and 6.2L engines where access and geometry make traditional tools difficult or unsafe to use.

Gen V Valve spring compressor
If you value your time and don't want to bother with a medieval claw type spring compressor that could kill you and your entire family, buy this product. Stop being cheap. it took me an hour to change springs on both heads in the car.
