just my thoughts.
the washers are desigend to flatten. at 7lbs, does any of that happen? dont the washers provide some sealing too?
the gasket can make a difference too. i have the reusable ones. the last time i had the covers off, i torqued to 7lbs and thought there is no way this thing will not leak. so i tried more torque. and, as siad above, the gasket will squeeze out, not good either. so i went with a torque that was on the edge of starting to squeeze the gasket.
