Normal clutch noise or not?

After the ordeal with my quartermaster twin disk taking a crap on me because of install error finally got the tranny fixed thanks to Tim Zimmer, new clutch master cylinder and SBC TZ-B clutch with act flywheel.

After getting it to the point where it properly disengages, and bleeding clutch I am hearing a different sound coming from it.

Kinda sounds like a brake pad noise when you spin a rotor but less abrasive sounding.

Here is the vid. You can hear mostly during the end. maybe I can catch anything now before damaging anything else further or is this normal noise? I have only 150miles on set up.

There are no disengagement issues, tranny shifts fine just this noise. I have been talking to Tim and he suggested I may be over extending the pressure plate but this is where I found to be the best adjustment as too low of a pedal it wouldn't disengage and if I try to go to high I'm scared of over engaging it.
Any ideas? Tim?

Thanks

I cannot hear it in your video other than a slight pitch change. You may still be having it slightly over-disengaged.

Drive the clutch and break it in, then bleed hydraulics and readjust the master cylinder rod once it breaks in.

Go get some mileage on it with shifting; not simply highway mileage. It will only break in by engaging and disengaging the clutch (i.e. shifting).

That's exactly the sound! That pitch change that can be heard when I put the phone under the car after the 20 second mark.

Thanks Tim, I'm probably just paranoid since I messed up my quartermaster install and want to do everything right. I will leave it the way it is (unless you think its something more serious) and get some more miles any update later.

Update to this:

I finally got it adjusted properly where it does not make any noise when I press the clutch in and it doesn't drag when doing the 7000rpm test. Replaced shift linkage with new one and I have the symborski shifter bushings. Tranny shifts great (after warmed up) and it doesn't feel like it's locking me out (clutch is fully disengaging) I am using the recommended 75w-140 NS fluid which is why I think it's harder to shift from a dead stop to first but after it warms up it feels better. Still a little harder than what I am use to on my MT90 evo 8 trans.

Only thing that slightly concerns me is the clutch starts engaging when I lift the clutch pedal maybe an 1" from the ground and fully engages at about 2". Is that something I should be worried about? Is that still too low of an engagement point? Factoring in the clutch drag test and noise test I have done to get it where I think is perfect. It seems if I lift the pedal up higher the noise comes (over engagement) back but it engages a tad higher (not really that much of a difference).

Any input?
