[QUOTE="01cobravortech, post: 15256532, member: 14885"] Technically speaking, if an idler was 'out of square' then its an alignment issue. Malcolm, I had a worse rubber stain on the top of my hood than yours. Mine was a ported Eaton (2.76) though and I ran the Metco tensioner on my Lightning supercharger belt tensioner. Though I suspected an overly tight belt, I found that 3 out of 5 of my idler pulleys (including auxilliary idler) were suffering some semblance of bearing failure. All were Metco double bearing idlers. Obviously your setup is much more powerful and aggressive than mine, but for a belt to walk that much and shred, well you have an alignment issue somewhere. You may have to put it on the dyno and 'watch it in action' to observe the belt movement and what is causing the forward thrust of the belt. [/QUOTE]
