Wait a sec...how long did you drive with a dead belt?

Did you somehow not overheat? Belt drives the waterpump. No belt = no coolant to the engine = overheat = cracked/warped head. Would hate to have you add another major fix to your already lengthy list! Maybe the belt was just slipping or something?
What do you mean by a smooth pulley? I think the surface area (that the belt rides on) of the tensioner pulley is smooth but the idler pulley has grooves in it. But it's been awhile since I've seen a pulley out of my car.
