I have tightened them evenly while rotating the motor,its the non shim able
pulley and belt that burns up, Ill take a closer look at the pulleys when I
get home from work,they seem to be good,the previous set of new belts kinda
burnt up both belts making me think its a heavy load or bearing locking up
intermittently?

The 2 piece pulley at the other end of the belt on the waterpump can be
damaged from previous installation efforts. The outer half can get crooked
during uneven tightening and then it can crack or get bent so the belts get
eaten up.

The DV 2 belt configuration is superb and only a fool would ever change the
setup but some people hate it ;) It is a little fussy. I thread a stud into
one of the 3 holes to help align all the parts. After the other 2 bolts are
started I pull out the stud and put in the third bolt. It is essential to
tighten the 3 bolts in stages while watching to see that the pulley half
does not get hung up on the edge of the center hole.
