BSCC- Engine? noise

It is a rebuilt bolted flywheel.  Sounds like maybe I put something together wrong.  I guess either way the engine has to come out.
Thank you

Hello

 It sounds like you have a bad fly wheel. We had a lot of trouble with the rivets coming loose.

The bolts on the fly wheel can hit the clutch disc.

I bought my 66 Corsa with no engine.  The engine I bought (140) is supposed to be basically new.  It turned over nicely before putting it in the car, and the input shaft turned nicely in the transmission.  Now that the engine is in the car when I turn it over by hand there is an evenly spaced light clunk, clunk, clunk.  Does not bind the engine.  It actually sounds like it is coming from the bell housing.  When turned over with the starter it sounds terrible.  Not sure if this is the same problem magnified or something else.
  Could the fly-wheel  or pressure plate bolts be hitting on something?
  I have seen starters shimmed on older cars - do Corvairs ever need this?
  I have tried it with the clutch in and out, in and out of gear etc. and nothing seems to change it.
   I am trying to avoid pulling the engine back out if it could be something else.
  Any suggestions??
Thanks
