Default All four stainless lines leaking

I went ahead and did goodrich stainless lines got everything tight and all four are leaking where they bolt into the hard line. I don't understand why. They are supposed to be a mechanical seal right? Should I put teflon tape on the fittings or what? Can you even use teflon with brake fluid? I double checked everything as well I know they are tight.

How do you like them? Ive read you get instant pedal difference...and alot of people like them.

I just changed out a metal brake line....because it was leaking, but the brakes are rock solid, so I cant see them getting any better then that.

you shouldn't have to "crank down" on them. the washers seal it.
