today was the first day i had it running since doing the oil filter mainenance. I put it back together with the washer between the pin and the washer. I have now developed this noise. It sounds like a chain whirling but it only does it when A: i rev the engine, or B: when i put it in gear, it seems to do it worse. I never noticed this prior to cleaning the filter and now it is really noticeable. I took the side cover back apart to check things out and everthing looks ok. I took the oil filter back out, and when i spin it on the shaft it does seem to make a noise when the washer spins with it. has anyone else had this problem? is it possible since the oil filter is clean now it is not dampening the sound? does the oil filter spin all the time while the engine is running or just when it is put in gear? The noise definitely sounds like it is coming from the filter area!
