So, if you cannot remove the oil filler cap when the engine is running then the AOS is going bad. Was this noise there before you started doing the engine maintenance, if so, then you did not cause the problem. Not sure if you are suppose to run a flat 6 with the flywheel off.
i wanna see him start it with the flywheel off...does yours have a pull start

Get a stethoscope from the auto store, remove the belt and listen for the sound around the crankshaft seal and listen to the timing chains. How many miles the Box.
