As an add on to those fascinating posts then why is it often said that the belts are often most vunerable to failure in the first few seconds when the engine has been started from cold - hence the often quoted comment of do not rev the ba**s of the engine when it's cold.

Yes I know about all the cold oil, lack of lubrication etc reasons but I mean specifically relating to the belts when cold
