They will "clank" pretty hard! What's probably more impertant is the let-off. Regulate it first and then see if the hammers still need help. The screw that controls the damper (where the gray grommet is) is improtant too. There should be some play in that before the dampers lift. Make sure the dampers lift evenly. This also prevents leaks. Hope this helps!
