My experience was exactly like yours when I first did my delivery valves. I did not change out the copper crush, and only replaced the o-rings. I did torque it to specs, but when I started the engine, it made a lot of noise, or nailing, and did not run as it did before I made the repair. I redid the delivery valves, only this time I changed out the copper crush washers, and once started, the engine was a quiet as a mouse. If I were you, I would re-do the repair, changing out both the o-rings and copper crush washers. Another hint given by parrotofdoom is to rock the delivery valve as your screw it back into the ip. This helps keep the spring centered and you screw it in. Good luck
