Thank you for your comforting comment. however, how smooth should the drivetrain be running? It seems that the first Gen Cat SX does not have such issue.
try this, slowly pull the belt and look at the pulley rotate. note that it will click 4 times in a 360 rotation. That is the metal on metal contact between the square shaft and square pulley hole. There has to be a little slack between the two to allow the parts to fit together. Even at the tightest tolerences it can make a little sound. I think the click is caused because of the increased preasure of the new diff belt.

If it really bothers you put a small dab of blue threadlock on the layshaft before installing the pulley it should stop the noise. just be prepared for trouble removing it after.
