Update.
It's at Selkirk Offroad/Land Cruiser shop in Pomeray Idaho (right next to where I live in Sandpoint). They politely told me I could not drive it away until they looked at the noise. Were even going to diagnose for free - but I don't do that, I left it with them to pull the trans and reattach the flywheel.
Backish story. When I put the flywheel on the motor, I didn't get a warm fuzzy, but it torqued okay - but my car sense said it wasn't right. So I did the right thing and just left it. Roll forward to the current troubles, I checked the flywheel, fired it up while on my lift and it looked just fine (there's an access hole in the bellhousing to aid in easy looking. I hauled it up from Kennewick to Sandpoint and basically drove it to their shop (I knew of them in my overland travels).
They're pulling the trans, getting me a bit more clearance (which I had intended to do 'later') and figuring out what is wrong - I'm sure they'll find threadlock on the bolts - which, to me said I felt it was 'okayish' the alternative is I didn't and just failed to torque. Either way - fire me - I don't care but I do care they're into helping me and I am giving them a shoutout because their willingness to simply help for free (their words, "oh, you want us to fix it, we figured you'd just pick it up and fix it yourself" - also, they had to figure out a price to fix....)
Also, I'm in the midst of my move - so having someone with a lift, extra hands, and knowledge of the r2.8/tr-4050 really takes a load off my mind.
