I always run the rear cylinder a little tighter than the front one to, not much though, to allow for the temp. differences.

Rear one tighter? Doesn't the rear cylinder get hotter though so you should be running the belt looser to allow for increased expansion? 5mm front 6mm rear type difference? This is the 2 valve of course.
