I have used a different method to align valves on several of my horns which are designed like yours. First, I remove the second valve piston and cap from it's casing. Then I poke my finger throught the second valve casing into one of the ports leading to the first valve. I feel the first valve piston port with my finger to see if it aligns when the first piston is up and down. Usually, if you get that measurement right, the other valves will have the same measurements for corks and felts. There are some odd exceptions to that, however, so you may want to check them all. Of course, this method is dependent upon the relationship of finger size/bore size!
