Ditch the copper gaskets first off, I went down that rd and never could get them to seal with copper gaskets. get a good set of Felpro's or Mr Gaskets and use some copper seal. after running the boat for a few retighten the logs again do this when ever you stop and have a beer, I found that it was very hard to get the bolts not to back out. I finnally went to a stud with the quench nut and never had a problem after that. Good luck
Its been a while since I did mine, but I did use the Permatex copper spray on them as Hustler mentioned, not dry as I originally stated.
