You really need to clean the seats up in the bottom of the injector holes. We use a tool for it at work, but I dont know where you would buy the tool from, your best bet is probably to go to a local diesel specialist and ask very kindly if you can borrow it for a few hours.
Its called an injector seat cutter:-

Also, new washers are a must after cutting the seats, they want to be slightly thicker than standard to make up for the material you clean off the injector seat. Diesel speiclaist should have a large selection of washers which they can offer to you aswel, just take in a standard washer and ask for 4 slightly thicker ones.
If the injector seat is good and it has new washers you really dont need to tighten the injector clamp bolts too much at all.
