The fellows who replaced your boiler probably didn't follow the first 'Rule of thumb' which is:

"For every half-mile that your top-most one-pipe steam radiator is above the boiler, increase the boiler pressure 1 psig."

They might have to lower the pressure regulator back down to 2 psig if it is a one-pipe system.
