You gave monumental and stunningly bad advice. First, dangerous, second the top pulleys cannot be seen by simply jacking up the car and looking up, particularly with the belt on. I too have been under the car and had the engine in and out several times. Climb under the car with someone in it running it? If your lucky you get away with simple third degree burns from the headers and don't end up close and personal with your oil pan as it crushes you to death. I hope you keep your string of good luck, others may not be so lucky.
