SEARCHED A LOT: Greddy BOV spring rate.

So I googled it, searched the forum, found many threads with no specific answer.

I want to make my BOV harder to open. So I tried tightening the screw on top but it seems to hard to turn to be the way to tighten it. I'm afraid of stripping the threads. So I found a thread that said that there was an allen screw to adjust it and the 10mm nut was just to hold the adjustment. Where the hell is the allen screw on the BOV!?
I couldn't find PDF instructions on google, or the answer on this site or anywhere else. Anyone know?

Thanks guys!

EDIT: Pics maybe?

The allen screw is the actual stud piece that the nut goes on. Basically loosen the nut and turn the stud. Forgot what size it is though.

The stud?!

How is that an Allen screw?! I always thought an allen screw was of hexagonal shaped.

Anyhow, I just use pliers to squeeze the stud and then turn it?! That'll **** up my threads, no?! So I'm better off using the 2 nuts trick to screw in the stud...right?

Thanks bro!

Its the actual allen bolt. Right on top of it should have the little hole shaped as the allen screw.

On top of the stud that the 10mm screw goes on?! There is no hexagonal shaped hole on there iirc. I'll have to wait til tomorrow though. But if you can confirm this I would appreciate it.

Alright you got the bov. Theres a stud piece on top of the crown that has the nut going around it. If you look at that stud on top you should see the allen insert. So insert the allen head and turn the stud to desired softness or hardness after loosening the nut.

On the big picture you can see the hole in that stud which is shaped as the allen screw. The directions show how to unless you got it used or something.
