Before taking it all back apart, remove the inspection plate and see if there are any shinney spots (would indicate rubbing) anywhere.

I had that problem once when i installed my Spec Billet Steel flywheel, it rubbed on the block plate but the noise went away after the car ran for like 5 minutes, never messed anything up
