Significant Technical Input
Just as your pushing/pulling the crank back and forth from the front pulley the pressure from the t/o bearing pushing forward into the pressure plate fingers will move the crank forward. When you release pressure on the pedal the t/o bearing quits applying pressure to the pressure plate and the crank will find its 'happy center' again. We're talking .030" here, correct? That's about the thickness of two paper matches or the gap of an average spark plug.

Regarding the source of your noise it's anyone's guess at this distance.
