Huh. I think I might have put my spacer in wrong. I'll have to take a look at that tomorrow. I thought the belts not lining up perfectly was just a side effect of the dual pulley I have on there.

Eh. It just leaves a lot of belt debris on the alternator/engine/etc. I ran with it wrong for close to 10,000 miles without a problem. Just fixed it today, in fact. It no longer smells like burning rubber when I rev it high!
