Thanks Benny,
No the bellhousing was not on at the time, nor was the flywheel. I plan on taking off the side cover and will also take off the dist. I have mounted flywheel, bellhousing, pressure plate, disc and installed engine. It is possible something could be rubbing in that location as I haven't dropped the 4 spd man trans in yet. I did turn the engine while installing these parts and don't recall a noise, but it may have been there and I missed it.
