I just got an email from Pineapple Racing concerning using my dual pulley setup with their alternator relocation kit and they recommended against using any dual belt setup! Their logic was one belt will always be looser than the other regardless and when that loose belt fails it will take out the tight belt with it.
I was a little shocked as I've been using my dual belt setup for over 6 months and sometimes over 8k rpm with no problems. ~rich

2) This is why you buy two new belts when installing a double sheave pulley.

Pineapple needs to spend MORE time making sure they correctly assemble their customers engines. (YES I AM STILL PISSED AFTER HAVING 2 P.O.S. Engines shipped to me by ROB GOLDEN)
Funny how for YEARS, ROB GOLDEN advocated the "yahoo belt", a SLAPSTICK BACKWOODS Engineering solution that placed undue stress on the waterpump bushing; by having one belt >50% contact are aand the other belt 20% contact area in different vectors.
Like Ted stated, Install 2 NEW belts that are the sems size; yes size does vary during each manufacturing run.

Reads fine on my computers at work and home. Thanks for the input, I may revamp the colors when I get a second or two.

I'm going to be buying a banzaitoyota dual belt pulley tomorrow myself. According to the guide I have to remove my alt. Can't I do it while the alt is on the car if I use some vice grips?

I think we are all trying to add our own personal data points, and it's up to the reader to swim through all the drivel.
If you haven't figured that out by now, Pineapple Racing doesn't have a pristine reputation here...
