Did you re-tighten the screws that hold the adjustment nuts in place when you were done?

well, if they are louder now then they were before you started, you screwed up somewhere. Are you using inches or milimeters on your feelers? Could you possibly could have gotten the two mixed up?

Did you recheck all of them after you adjusted them and tightened the locknuts? They mysteriously seem to move sometimes.
