That's what I was thinking when I listened to the video...flywheel pushing forward and rubbing on something at the rear of the block. I agree with JWL-check crankshaft end play and clearance at flywheel to back of block,especially at oil pump gear cover bolts and perimeter of flywheel. Maybe a bolt has a washer that doesn't belong and is too close? Should be evidence of rubbing as loud as the sound is.
