Sounds like your valve was worn too far out of spec.

Are you reusing the original caps or, did you get new caps as well?

I don't know...All it took was REAL old stock barrels and everything was fine. We measured the new barrels and they were shorter and the bevel was not the same as the original barrels..............I love import parts.

By the way, did you remove old cap thread gaskets? If old cap thread gaskets aren't removed, new stems won't seat fully against seat. This happened to me with a Kohler tub valve.
Money...$389 to change out vs. $159 for washers and seats...soon to be more with stems...hes an old guy ....the complete kit with stems diverter and handles is $120 plus tax at Ferguson..if that was the only option Id push for a new valve harder.

My replacement stems/seats were not imports. P&M manufacturing made them....or had them made. Quality stems! Most import stuff is garbage but not all of it......my friend buys fittings from South Korea that are top quality.
