     Aaron - I'm assuming you cleaned up the threads on the PDWA
and bolt when you rebuilt it.  Remove the large bolt at the end
and wrap some plumber's pipe tape around the bolt threads (pay
attention to the direction in which you start the tape so it
doesn't unravel as you start the bolt back in.)
     With a new (or cleaned up) washer and the pipe tape, you
shouldn't have to overtighten the bolt to keep the PDWA from
leaking.  But keep an eye out for fluid anyway.  If it still
leaks the brass may be scored beyond redemption and you'll need
a new PDWA body.
