Ron,
Remember the belt is going to 'snake' with the harmonics anyway, its just one of those things you have to live with, so any 'L' or 'Channel' section guide that you make up should have a smooth radius at each end to guide the belt in and prevent damage. A bearing race with side fences will accomplish the same thing. Biggest thing you can do is reduce the belt speed with smaller pulleys, but this has limitations where the small pulley may not have enough surface grip to drive the pump & alternator due to belt slippage.

Oop's, nearly forgot, I,m with Randy on the rings-valves-head & gasket-- If you 'saw' 270° then you can bet the spikes inside were a damn sight higher!
