Yes it goes in the slotted hole. What noise is it making? Sound like rubbing? If so the screws for the rotor could be loose or your cam dowle is to long, or last but not least its making noise on the timing cover seal.
did you have the o-ring or the square style gasket that came with it, some guys have installed it wrong with the o-ring and it made the rotor rub on that plasctic backing plate, runining it. I bought the square gaskets myself for it and was much easier to intstall. if the opti is installed wrong on the cam it ushally will not start.
everything was converted its almost like the opti is moving back and forth when its running its making almost like a knocking noise like there is play in the dowl pin and the hole for the opti

At the same time? If you changed over the chain to a double chain, it could be rubbing the front cover. There are a few people on here who have had to clearance the front cover when swithcing over to a double roller.
