Im installing the the TR224 in my LS1. Im pulling out my little ole 4.8 to use as my new boat anchor.
Right now the LS1 is sitting on one of my old 20" tires.

I was reading on LS1howto.com that some people have had problems with breaking the bolts off in the head when using the standard O'Rielly special V Spring tool. Is it as bad as they make it out to be?
