I remember on Honda's t-belt water pumps, the pulley is mushroom-style... you could remove the pulley, but you'd still have to adjust the angle of the t-belt to go around the housing, b/c of the relative contact between the belt and the pulley, which is why I mentioned using idlers to prevent the belt from contacting the housing of the water pump.

guud - is that the setup you were referring to in the posts about race teams using them? I like that one, personally. Is there any way you could get a straight on shot of that engine, to detail the drive?
