I must have missed where you said what size bolts you are using. 95 ft./lbs is way too much for a 7/16 head bolt. I use 70 (for a 7/16) with oil between the head of the bolt and the washer. On the blind holes I use oil on the threads, and thread sealer on the ones that go in to the water jackets. Never had a problem.
