"Its a long shot Chuck, but it might just work."
When you say "The profile was also tweaked" do you mean that the temp/ramp
was increased.
If this is the case try slowing down the ramp.
The basic problem arises with a temperature difference between the top and
bottom of the board causing the board to warp (bow up to the hot side -
watch the next time you put an oven tray onto the sink). I could bore you
with the details of the formula but I would suggest you try slowing down the
conveyor instead.
