Default ATI super dampner Question.

So i installed the dampner with a ARP bolt. Cranked the bolt down as hard as i could. Took it out for a test drive brought it up to 5krpm about 5-6 times. Parked the car and started to pull the dampner to install a crank pin. I noticed the arp bolt was very loose in the crank. pulled the dampner it looks fine. the snout of the crank looks fine. The bolt goes all the way in and all the way out with no problems. HERES THE QUESTION could i have messed something up? I dont think the pulley even moved. the belt was still on it. The bolt was just starting to back out. I put about 5 miles on the loose bolt. i didnt use lock tight

How the hell do you install the new arp bolts without this happening again. And i dont want to use the old bolt because last time i did that on my old camaro i stripped a few threads off the old bolt in the crank. can i just get that arp bolt to 250 lbs with red lock tight?

thank for all the help
