Wow, that is terrible.  It has to be one of the usual suspects: Over
tightenting the belt or extremely poor quality pumps (bad batch of seals
or bearings).  Or maybe someone put sand in his cooling system!

Actually, draining and flushing the cooling system wouldn't be a bad
idea, there could be debris from the failed pumps circulating that is
tearing up the seals.  Once the seals go the bearings soon follow.
