Mike, the answer is yes to all the above which is why voodoo seems most likely. I hand threaded each bolt into the block and measured the amount left. I was not bottoming out. I used ARP moly on the washers and bolthead and ARP teflon thread sealer on the threads. I even used a second washer after the first water leak just to be sure but it did not help. If I had bottomed out an extra 10ft. lbs would not helped and I could not have taken up another 1/4to1/2 turn on the retorque. I actually don't think I will have any future problems with it, I just can't figure out what happened.
