NDS tension isn't measured when building wheels...only DS. You tension the DS to the specified tension for whatever gauge of spoke you have and/or what the rim builder specifies. When the wheel is straight and round AND centered over the hub the NDS tension is what it is. Don't worry about it. I'd replace all of the spokes/nipples and start over. Not sure whether Reynolds used nipple washers on that particular wheel, you can find out by looking. I lube every nipple/rim interface on every wheel I build, doesn't matter if it's carbon. It's cured and the lube won't penetrate.
