Decryption from encryption method

I am needing to re-write a decryption method for an old piece of code, unfortunately the original decryption method has been lost on we only have access to the encryption. 

type
  TintArray = array [0 .. 1] of Cardinal;
  TKeyArray = Array [0 .. 3] of Cardinal;

const
  KeyArray: TKeyArray = (858945348, 1144282739, 828794915, 556884274);

  procedure Encipher(var V, W: TintArray);
  var
    y, z, sum, delta, a, b, c, d, n: Cardinal;
    iCounter: Integer;
  begin
    y := V[0];
    z := V[1];
    sum := 0;
    delta := $9E3779B9; // 2654435769;//0x9E3779B9;
    a := KeyArray[0];
    b := KeyArray[1];
    c := KeyArray[2];
    d := KeyArray[3];
    n := 32;
    for iCounter := n downto 1 do begin
      sum := sum + delta;
      y := y + (((z shl 4) + a) xor (z + sum) xor ((z shr 5) + b));
      z := z + (((y shl 4) + c) xor (y + sum) xor ((y shr 5) + d));
    end;
    W[0] := y;
    W[1] := z;
  end;

I have tried mundane things like changing all the "+" to "-" however I did not have much hope as I really don't actually understand the code at all.

This is the Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA). Check it out on Wikipedia.

Your decryption routine should be something like this (keeping with your naming conventions, etc.):

procedure Decipher(var V, W: TintArray);
var
  y, z, sum, delta, a, b, c, d, n: Cardinal;
  iCounter: Integer;
begin
  y := V[0];
  z := V[1];
  sum := $C6EF3720;
  delta := $9E3779B9; // 2654435769;//0x9E3779B9;
  a := KeyArray[0];
  b := KeyArray[1];
  c := KeyArray[2];
  d := KeyArray[3];
  n := 32;
  for iCounter := n downto 1 do begin
    z := z - (((y shl 4) + c) xor (y + sum) xor ((y shr 5) + d));
    y := y - (((z shl 4) + a) xor (z + sum) xor ((z shr 5) + b));
    sum := sum - delta;
  end;
  W[0] := y;
  W[1] := z;
end;
