Valve Alignment

I have a tuba whose valves are, I believe, misaligned. It is an upright Conn. I played around with rearranging the washers and corks yesterday, and several aspects (especially the low end) seemed to really improve. I have heard people talk about using a dental mirror in adjacent valves to see the alignment, but I can't see anything. Is there another way? I wouldn't mind taking it to a pro if I knew someone around here who would do it right, but I don't.

Thanks for any input.
