Some valves only have a "key" on one side, others on both, but of different size and others 2 the same size allowing for being put in backward. When you remove the valves, put them back in starting with the 3rd, then 2nd, then 1st. Blow a bit of air through after inserting each one to assure that they are in right. Do not push the valve down without checking orientation first, it may stick in a very bad way.
