I would have to say that it does not make a noise when rolling with the motor off. with clutch engaged. I will have to test to be sure. Again it does not happen all the time. If I shock the tranny by releasing the clucth suddenly that might fix it for a while but it will come back. When I take down the tranny I will inspect everything.
Tilton is saying that there is air still in the system because I bleed the system with the pedal stop in place.
Do you think it could be a pilot bearing ????????????????
Mike,
I dont see any way to put the Tilton unit on backwards.

Just the 'normal 0.008"/0.012" ' crank endfloat, but I dont think its your problem here, only occurs if you have very tight clearance issues inside bell housing.
One other thing, are both alignment dowels still in block/bellhousing, didnt fall out while fixing the relief valve? Did you reindex the bell housing at refit? Those Lakewood housings usually need oversize dowels from what I have read.
The air in the line could explain why the noise is intermittent or returns after you 'shock' the clutch , but doesnt explain why the noise is there. If it is the TB then it must either be misaligned with the fingers or causing an issue with them to create the noise.
Ernie raised a point with the pilot brgs- the 'ball bearing' type can 'grab' on the input shaft and cause problems later, the original
oil impregnated bronze bush is fine for street use, later aftermarket needle roller type are great, but dont use them on an old trans with corrosion on the front of the input shaft- the needles will fail prematurely.
