The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Same Clutch noise problem after third assembly and a lot of archive searches

I remember a problem like this one. The thrust flange had broken at the crankshaft allowing the flywheel to rub when pedal pressure was applied. I just happened to be observing the front pulley when the clutch was applied and noticed the considerable forward movement. Hopefully this extreme diagnosis does not apply to you. It is significant labor to correct such a problem.
