hi there
i did a little test last night.
1 quailty oring vs a stock hard rubber one.
I found that the quality oring hit hard compression as soon as it passes the end of the cylinder port, BUT a cheaper one moves almost a 1/2' AFTER the end of the port before it hits full compression.

so although it has full compression its still looses a little of the available air volume to force the oring to the cylinder wall..

Food for thought.
it would suck if all this was down to an oring but as you mention you have no leaks
its the only component that can have full pressure and still cause headaches.

so it might be a oring (hard rubber vs softer rubber)
