Yes you are totally right that it shouldn't have been tightened that much, which is why I took it off and got a brand new gasket and redid it myself to spec. I guess I forgot to mention that part in my initial ramblings.
Also I still have yet to understand the part about the oil in the bolt hole as well, since the new gasket I put on didn't have any spots in it showing where oil would've went past it into the through hole for the bolt and I also considered the possibility that the block may have been cracked through that hole but that doesn't seem to be the case either.
If I can't solve that mystery then the copper crush washers may just be the fix. We shall see when it goes back together again in a few days.
