So i just did some research and found a good piece of info that i wish i would of known. In the instructions it says to use 9 bolts there are 3 others apparently that need to be on when not using the extra pulley that bolts on. I wish i would of known this.... i got the pulley from my engine builder and was told it was ready to put on. Well there ya have it people this is what happens when you dont do **** right.

Also, the taper heads are to be torqued w/ a T40+ Torx, not a std Torx.
As far as the broken bolts, I w/ those thinking they were loose, to begin with.
I just checked on a recent install. We got the extra 3 cap screws in the kit. The kit did not include the a/c belt pulley.
If the shop gave you the balancer, and not the 3 cap screws, that could have been the root cause. [AIRC, all kits come w/ those bolts.]

Well I had to go get some regular hex bolts so I don't have the torx style but in the instructions it says not putting the 3 other bolts in can cause damage and when I called ati they told me the same thing. I called ati to ask if it's okay to throw the hex bolts in and they said its fine just might have a hard time taking them back out one day.
