The alignment is very important for the belt to hook-up properly. Even with the motor going back to it's original position you still need to have the engine side of the pulleys aligned- verify the engine doesn't get cock-eyed when tightening it down. See if this makes sense- if mis-aligned the belt doesn't touch the sides of the pulley squarely-- miss and skip to grab, then the more rpm's the greater the reflex wobble you get till the belt over heats and shreds.Good luck.
