If you still have the belt covers off, put a listening hose down by each pulley and see if the noise is coming from any one of them. Or just loosen the balance shaft belt slightly and see if the noise changes or goes away.

I've done many belts and always used 90 deg. for the timing belt only; 180 deg for the BS is about the correct tension. 90 deg. is too tight and it will whine bad and wear the rollers out sooner. YMMV

Yep...look for Van's waterpump change vids...he shows you the proper tensioning of the BB....You should be able to run your finger over the roller under the belt with a fair amount of ease, plus there should be approx a credit card thickness of gap between the BB and the idler roller above the lower BB tensioning sprocket.

I had a passenger side motor mount go bad and it vibrated really badly when the engine was under load on hills. I could see the outside rear view mirrors vibrating. Smooth as glass after changing the mount.
