Pleased to hear you finally found the problem. The thing about your copper wear plate is that it will wear! Copper is not a suitable material for a bearing surface as it is too soft, particularly at the faily high bearing pressure between a slide valve and its portface. Iron, gunmetal, or bronze would be better.
