That is definitely a possibility once you have ruled out the obvious. I painted
my rear drums with POR15 recently, also a thick finish, and I had to remove all
paint from the holes that the hubs go through because the drums would not sit
square on the hub due to the fine tolerance. It wasn't much, barely noticeable
but it was enough to cause a pronounced whoo-whoo noise at speed.

Subject: Re: Oil filter canister
It was definitely in the groove but binding. I powder coated the
canister and am wondering if it's too thick. I had to tap it with a
rubber mallet to get it loose from the groove when I changed the oil. John
