Now my engine makes a funny whining noise as if it whistling , it gets loud at around 2.5k rmps and up... Do you think I put too much oil? Should I re-clean and oil on proper side? Its damn annoying!
If you put the oil on the wrong side, and you knew it, why the heck did you install it? If you read the directions, it says if you accidently put oil on the wrong side, clean it and start over.

Like the other guy said, make sure you clipped all the clips and check for air leaks.
