New Blitz Clutch making noise...Any ideas?

[Siizzzoooo]

We just put in my Blitz Single Active clutch w/ fly.

Design:
Flywheel-disc-slottled rotor/disc looking thing-pressure plate

I am concerned about the noise it makes. It sounds like the rotor or flywheel was rubbing/grinding-kinda like worn brake bads on brake rotors. It ONLY does makes the noise when the clutch pedal is put in. What I have sounds like rocks rubbing against metal. It does it all through the gears, through conservative shifting. Here it happens when the clutch is engaged. No matter if I ease out on the clutch or not. It will do it if I just hold the pedal down as well. The rubbing progressively gets louder.

Is that normal? The only thing I can think of is the clutch disc on the flywheel since the surface of the flywheel was pretty rough. I'm assuming this is part of the break in cycle.

Phase2Motortrend says

"The 'chattering' noise that you hear when you step in the clutch pedal is normal. That's how it is with most single plate clutch kits like Blitz and Exedy. That is because the nature of the throw out bearing they used will vibrate and make that noise."

Does that make any sense?

Any help would be great!

normal! friend has a twin disc exedy... and it does that as well... just anytime and all the time as long as the car isnt in gear.

ok, so everytime I press the clutch pedal, to engage or disengage, I will always hear this rubbing noise?

Yes you will always hear that noise. I have a cusco single plate clutch and mine is the same way. Its just the way it is with a clutch of that design.

This is normal. My friend and I have the exact same clutches and the noise is normal. You will just learn to keep the car out of gear and your foot off the pedal at stop lights. My Blitz has held up well for over a year and 13K hard miles.
