I suspect you may have cross threaded either the block and/or the stub. The injection pressure is high and I am afraid you are done for. Take a look at the thread of the stub and see if there is any damages. Try swapping different stub to another location and see whether it can be tighten good. Alternately is to use teflon tape as a last resort.
