Nice new avatar, Jester.

I hadn't thought of the head dowel either. Good call Andy. I'll also agree that 95 ft/lbs. is too much on a 7/16 bolt. When you take the heads back off, check your bolts. I know you said they felt good when you torqued them down, but they could still be ruined. I'd take the threaded ends of each bolt and mesh the threads together with another bolt to see how they look. I hope that makes sense. One more thing, is it leaking in the same place every time?
