Perhaps the flange plate for the headers is warped or bent badly enough to allow for a leak once it heats up?
I had the same trouble with the bolts working loose and switched to stage 8 hardware, but still found t virtualy impossible to get back at the rear passenger side bolt by the firewall with the lock washer and Jesus clip.
Also, one minor problem I had with the washers is they only allow you to lock the bolts down at specific 60 degree turn's and on a couple of them I ended up grinding my own washer out to fit that bolts particular position. Without having done that I was unable to get it torqued down properly to allow a good seal against the heads.
