Umm...I hate to say it but that lower right bolt is missing a washer. What did I win?
Washers integrated into the bolts seem better.
I like rwebbs idea of not using bolts at all, but rather another repeatable clamping system.
The chamber is designed to contain high pressure gasses and be reusable(?)
Not an engineer, but:
-perhaps the chamber is too thin and warping during heating?
-perhaps the tourque proceedures around the hollow circle are too rapid?
-perhaps more bolts are needed to maintain contacting surfaces?
-perhaps a secondary intergrated seal along the perimeter?
