Piston sleeve

Hi
Few days back I found my sub 12 fpe TX 200 MKIII making a lot noise during discharge with fair bit of recoil, though it has a tbt kit. Now reading some of the reviews of TXs from UK being so tamed & quiet thought of doing some modification. Got suggestion from a fellow member to insert a brass sleeve, as his friend’s TX was behaving similarly despite installing a tbt kit & after inserting a sleeve it got sorted.
I inserted a 45mm by 95mm brass sheet nicely polished & buffed with decent amount of moly coating. Now I could hear a scrapping sound while cocking with increased cocking effort, though velocity has increased by 20 fps from 766 to 786 with only 11fps spread for 10 shots, with reduced muzzle report & the best part was its sight picture retention.
Should I be worried about that scrapping noise, or shall I let it bed in?
