how bad is that crack?

FR is all about balance between strings and springs tension. if you can't adjust the springs, then it's gonna be hard to offset the string tension.

did you use the same string gauge? if yes, try using a lighter gauge.

also like everdying said, add some more springs if you still have the slots for it.

According to Bang Din, seems it's worst and he keep on remind me don't simply adjust the springs anymore.  i still remember that's somewhere body near tremolo inner area was crack he told me. but it's not visible at outlook. Sorry for i have no idea how crack was it. i may afraid i am doing more and the worst may lend to me.

here is the springs. not sure i still can add on?

can't see the crack from the pic. usually, if the FR is balanced, changing strings would not require re-balancing unless:
1. you're using a different gauge string
2. you messed up the stringing process. (should change the strings one-by-one)
3. something's wrong with guitar.

can you highlight the cracked area?

firstly, that is one ugly looking trem block tongue.gif

but are u sure cannot add more springs? u dont own a screwdriver?
but assuming cannot add more springs due to that fugly block, and since u say the screw cannot tighten more, and that fugly block and claw holder cannot add more springs, then move the springs like this.

that should help abit, if cannot, then u have to send guitar to someone repair the crack.

you're blocking the trem with it? wouldn't that make it rattle like a piggy bank?
