Wondering if maybe that type of hotend you are using is a different setup than the regular JHEAD that most of the RepRap style printers are using??
Hope we can help you get this worked out and you up and printing!!

Also, make sure you have the right type of thermistor in the firmware -- hotends.com changed the termistor from one mady by EPCOS (type 1 in Marlin) to another kind, about a year ago. To mark the change, the hot end with the original thermistor was called J-Head Mk V-B, and the new one is Mk V-BV. Did you use the same thermistor when adding the thermal paste? Any changes to the firmware?

The designs vary (M3 or M4 screws of different lengths, different springs, some designs have more room for the screws to go in, and if the springs are too short you can add washers, and so on) so what works for me may not work for you. It also depends on how well your hobbed bolt is made -- mine is only so-so.
