I am not going to try to remove any of the other screws to see how it is attached...held together.I thought that the 6 #12 screws just held on the red ring with their name on it. I am going to try and get this warrantied..it is only 4 months old. If they replace it, I sure won't use it on anything but a street engine. I figured it was a decent part since our pontiac vendors are selling them....NOT!!!! I will post some pics for reference in a little bit. Bill
here's a link to ATI and it shows how this piece of crap comes apart!!

Junk Design IMHO, Look at it all apart, Why cheap out on a 15000$ + engine???
