Now I put the oil pan on and broke one of the bolts. I torqued them all to 8 lbs which is supposed to be right and this one just broke. I managed to get the pan on pretty quick so the RTV can settle in good. Do I have to get this out and put a new one in or will it be ok?

haha, ok thanks Mike. I'll be happy if it runs after all this. I put the CAS back in but marking it to match the original position made no difference since I put the RB pulley on and ended up spinning it a few times with the torque wrench.
The RB pulley has 4 timing marks, the second one in is 0 degrees so I aligned that with the timing pointer and then put the CAS back in with the key aligned like it said in the Haynes manual. I dont know if that is right but I will have to get a light and use Ito's basic timing method that he posted in here.

Red locktite breaks down with high heat. So you can try taking a propanr torch to it untill it gets nice and hot. 
That is about the only way I know of for getting a bolt out that has had red locktite put on it. Next time use blue.

You should really invest in a big strap wrench or a very strong friend. From what I know the spec on the front bolt is about 150-180 ft/lbs (correct me if I am wrong)
A 3/8 impact gun usually does the job for me, the craftsman palstic one in the middle setting will pound it in well
I took off the steering rack and radiator when I changed the oil pellet, OMP gasket and water pump
