I believe you have over adjusted your clutch and the throw out bearing is spinning. Meaning it has to much pressure on it even when you are off the clutch. The roaring is from you over centering the pressure plate when you bottom the clutch. meaning the fingers on the pressure plate are going past the point they should and are rubbing on the fly wheel bolts.
