Well just got the engine running after doing my swap, and I've got a pretty loud "metallic screaching/whinning" whenever the engine is turning over and running.

I was shitting myself thinking that I've got an oiling problem and that's the sound of the engine bearings running dry!

However, the sound does change whenever I engage/disengage the clutch (but does not go away completely). During the swap I stuck in a SPEC lightweight flywheel/clutch/pressure plate, is there a chance that the sound I'm hearing is simply the clutch assembly wearing in?

Or is there a better chance that I've got a more serious issue on my hands?

Cheers in advance for the input!
