Air Arms Fitting a new firing valve in an HFT-500

I had a leak in my HFT500 and found air coming from the barrel and transfer port. The firing valve was not holding air. I cleaned it up and used some polish to seal it up and that worked. But I ordered a new valve and seat for it. After fitting the new parts it leaks worse than ever. Is there something that needs to be done to get the valve to seal?
