Subject: Changed my group gasked on my Expobar and now it's *really* tight- is that normal?
|
Hi,
Got my Expobar Pulser up and running again after my pump failed on
Sunday. The machine was a couple years old and had the original group
gasket and shower screen, so I ordered E61 parts from Chris Coffee
along with my new ULKA 52W pump.
The one that came out of it was 8mm, so I ordered that size again. Got
it in, but now my portafilter is super tight- I can't lock it in
without holding on to the machine for leverage.
Is that normal? Will it break in, or did I not do something right. The
gasket had one side with a slight bevel on the edge, and I installed
that side up.
Pulser is Expobar's E61 clone they make themselves, it's not an Italian
E61, does that matter? Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Wes

Funny you should mention this. I've ordered gaskets from Chris annually
for quite a few years now. I used to order one at a time. Last year I
had the brilliant idea of ordering two (!) to save on shipping. I order
the same size each year and wouldn't you know it the ones I ordered
this time were thicker and kept the pf from tightening enough for me to
be comfortable with. I had to order another one 0.5mm thinner. I think
there is a great amount of manufacturing tolerance in these things,
hence the problems we're encountering...

Is the size stamped on the gasket? Just because you ordered an 8mm doesn't
mean that's what they sent you.
