Did you personally torque the clutch cover bolts down and use a torque wrench?

And of course, when my buddy called Carbonetic's, they act like they've never, ever heard of anything like it before.
A Carbonetics just recently broke like your pics on a friend of mine's car also. Luckily it didn't break the bell housing.
