Recheck the gear gap. It should be no wider than the thickness of printer paper. You should be able to move the main gear just ever so slightly when set right.
The mesh plays a vital role in how well the heli flies, motor performance and motor efficiency.
As for rotation its anti clockwise on a gear to gear drive system and clock wise on a belt driven system (I.e. goblin, warp and ms heli).

if you had the pinion upside down, then it would not mesh at all with your main gear. That would definitely make an "awful" sound.
Your gears from the side should look something like this (pinion)|\\\| |////////////|(main) for them to mesh of "fit" together.
If they look something like this (pinion)|///| |///////////|(main), then they will not fit together. I know it's crude, but hopefully it gives you the right idea.

This is true on gear to gear drive system if the motor is mounted pinion up. Most blade helis are mounted pinion down (can't remember proper terms for this) which in this case, the motor spins clockwise. I know it doesn't really pertain in this case, but thought that I would share.
