New engine?

Yes

Did you indicate and align the bellhousing?

No I installed everything like it was as it was on the old motor. I can't remember exactly why I didn't do the alignment procedure. I do remember that there was no play with the Lakewood bell housing.

The noise is present when the clutch is engaged (meaning pedal not pressed) but goes away when it's pressed?

Yes

moper said
Does it stop immediately or do you hear the noise slow and stop?

Stops immediately
