My brand new B+ Rep took one drop on to wood floor. Developed a tap immediately. Wasn’t bad. But I figured what the hell it doesn’t seem overly difficult to fix. I put the new hardware in. Was way more difficult than I expected. But finally I get it all back together… and the tap is worse. Much worse. Do I have to take it apart again and put in the original hardware? Do I just order titanium at this point or does that not make a difference?

UPDATE: Thank you everyone! I put all the original hardware back in. It only took a few minutes vs fighting with it for way too long. Still a small tap but will oil it more and see where that gets me. Definitely learned a lesson on this one

What tests/functions do you do when you get a new one to see if it needs adjusting or tuning?
