Sounds like a pain in the butt to me. Why can't you just run a serp belt in the same manner the V belts are run? I dont understand at all why you couldn't just take the pulley's, and get a measurement on a new belt, and use a regular rotation, e.g. stock water pump, and delete any and all idler pulleys, and just tighten up the belt the way the old belts were.
I have a crank pulley, a water pump, and an alternator. If I just swap the pulleys only, dump the idlers, and measure for a new belt, I see no reason why it wont work.
What am I missing here?
