my experience with this is to check the insides of the pulleys very very carefully the slightest burr or bit off crap and you will eat through belts..... there is always the issue with over tension but knowing how anal (meant as compliment mate) you are Kev i doubt you would have done this

My carrier chewed up a fan belt last summer, and with the Chevy 350 setup there is only the one. Noticed the temperature guage climbing and shut her down in time to avoid damage. They do get very hot very quick as there is little natural airflow over the radiator.

Default Head Gasket

We had a problem with our Lynx out here and it came down to the fact that the head gaskets fit on both ways, right and wrong! It's not that obvious I'm told which end goes where but on an old flathead forum there was an answer and it cured the overheating problem but not before we heated it up pretty good trying to sort out belts, pulleys thermostats etc.
