	Serpentine belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A serpentine belt is a single continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as alternators, power steering pumps, coolant pumps, A/C compressors, etc.
		By using a single wider belt instead of multiple thinner belts, the belt may be put under increased tension without stretching.
		Serpentine belts are also much easier to maintain and change, since there is no need to remove multiple belts to replace a single broken or worn belt.

	Serpentine Belt Replacement
		The serpentine belt is responsible for the operation of several engine components.
		The belt assists in the proper operation of vital components, such as the water pump (keeps engine at proper running temperature), alternator (recharges the battery), power steering (assists the driver in steering), and air conditioning (provides a comfortable interior climate).
		Most manufacturers recommend that the serpentine belt should be replaced every 45,000 to 60,000 miles or if the belt has more than 3 cracks per inch.

	Serpentine Belt Drive System - Tech Articles - Street Rodder Magazine
		There are a number of reasons for this: A single, flat belt is more efficient than several of the V-type; a single, spring-loaded tensioner can be used so the accessories don't have to pivot to tighten the belts, and as a result can be mounted solidly for less vibration; and finally, it's a compact design.
		What street rodders need is a serpentine system that provides the same solid foundation present in OEM designs that looks good while its at it, and that's just what Billet Specialties has come up with.
		To install the pulley, a wrench is used on the tensioner to overcome spring pressure.

		I used a 15mm wrench with pipe extender to crank the belt tensioner all the way and thread the belt to the center ungrooved pulley last (as you have suggested), but the belt could not be inserted onto the center pulley.
		My belt would wander off the tensioner a bit when splashed, but if you took the engine off idle and up to around 1500-2000 that was when it would pop right off.
		Release the tension on the serpentine belt by rotating the tensioner clockwise and remove the serpentine belt from around the tensioner pulley.

		Using a standard belt tension gauge, install it to the center of the longest span of the drive belt.
		The drive belt tensioner can control belt tension over a broad range of belt lengths, however, there are limits to the tensioner's ability to compensate.
		A belt squeak when the engine in started or stopped is normal and does not necessarily indicate a worn belt.

		As well as it is easier to change the belt when it becomes worn or breaks.
		Serpentine belts slip less than V-belt systems since the belt expands over time due to age and heat...the tensioner keeps it nice and snug/tight.
		If you are going to remove the smog pump, you will need to re-route the belt differently, causing you to need a different size belt.

	ALLDATA -- Jim Grant's Tech Tips -- '01 Ford Escort ZX2, Serpentine Belt Failures
		It is likely that you have a belt alignment problem, being caused by a failing automatic belt tensioner, one of the 2 idler pulleys, or there is a problem with the water pump, alternator, power steering pump or A/C pulleys.
		Serpentine belts are a really tough belt and they do provide good service, but a serpentine belt cannot tolerate alignment problems or any of the pulleys it drives or rides over.
		With a good belt installed look just over the edge of the belt at one point, all edges should match and be in line.

		Belt slipage is already a problem at 6000 RPM and 12 # of boost.
		Lastly I used an air conditioner idler pulley from a ford pickup changed over the pulley to smooth pulley because as you see in my pictures the belt runs on the backside of the idler so as to give enough surface contact of the belt on both the power steering pump and the alternator pulleys.
		And last but not least I used a 6 groove belt because the more surface area in contact with the pulleys, and belt, the less slippage at high torque.
