If the crank shaft is out by that much, how is the mesh between the crank gear and the gear on the cam shaft? It would be either too tight or too loose and would either destroy the gears or make lots of noise. Could that be the source of your noise? Lawrie, where are you??? (FB member Lawrie has had experience with this)
It could also cause a misalignment of the gearbox input shaft which might also cause a noise.
