FX350 Clutchmasters install - Very loud - Video

[joeo]

Hi all - put in a replacement engine and along with it replaced the flywheel and clutch with an FX350 kit (aluminum flywheel), pressure plate, and clutch disc. It is making a heck of a racket. I know it's supposed to be loud, but this definitely sounds like something is wrong. The kit also included a throw-out bearing and fork. Could I have installed this wrong? If so - any ideas?
The car is track only - 1st session was OK (ran about 10 minutes) - seemed OK (except loud) - 2nd session started to get misfire codes (cyl 2, cyl 5, multiple cyl misfires), and the noise got a lot worse.
Thanks!

Definitely sounds like there's a problem with either the pilot bearing or the throw-out bearing. Is this the flywheel you used? Looks like they complicated the pilot bearing setup.

Yes, and yes they did. Wondering the flywheel is loose.
