dmau9600 Can’t remember the range on the Bianca, but it’s more than sufficient. In an E61 group there are 3 springs.
- Top group valve, pushed open by cam (leave this alone)
- Preinfusion chamber valve (opens at 4 bar). The stiffer valve spring is to replace this, to it only opens at 11-12 bar
- Vent valve, with spring that opens approx 12 bar
The idea is not not have an operational preinfusion chamber as this interferes with profiling. you can replace the preinfusion spring with the stiffer one and remove the vent spring and valve (or leave it, although the group action might be a bit stiffer). Clives advice is not optimal on this regarding the preinfusion spring..
