Chain is brand new, not had even half an hour of cutting. Almost sure, it did not hit steel, but let me take some pictures by end of week and you can tell better.
Yes, this model has the oil pump housed in the cover. I did not try running with cover on and without chain and bar, but it should run without problems I guess. Yes, there is a very thin washer between clutch and drum and it is there, i did not touch this. It was there with the old sprocket as well, and I still had same issue. So i would say it is not that. Chain and drum are .404That’s a Stihl bar, on what you say is a Husqvarna saw.
I never seen any cream or white paint on aHusqvarna.
I wasn’t aware a Stihl bar would work, without modification.
Check chain well to make sure no teeth are bent out of line,
and check all the drive links that slide through the bar to ensure they
are not stressed or bent, if they are they will jam up in the bar.
I never seen a saw with an oil pump out in the side casing.
Will your saw run with the chain cover on it, no bar no chain
and chain oil pumping out.
You said you added a new clutch drum, was there a washer maybe stuck
on the inside of the old one, some saws have a washer there to keep
things lined up and reduce friction from rubbing.
Is there a sprocket in the nose of your bar, is it sticking, is it the right sprocket,
a .325 for a .325 chain, or a 3/8 for a 3/8 chain.
No, put the bar and chain on with the washers and nut, tension it right,Yes, this model has the oil pump housed in the cover.

No, there are no shiny marks, all covered with oil and debris from log cut. The bar is hard nose, no sprocket on it. I showed it to a dealer when I bought the new drum and he said all three seems to be the right ones, meaning bar, chain and sprocket are compatible.
Do I have to remove the drum to check for the crank and whether it is bent or not?
For everyone's information - At post #150, we went from a Husky to a Stihl 08s from another member with same / similar problem.That’s a Stihl bar, on what you say is a Husqvarna saw.

IT is Stihl 08s. Originally comes with .404. Yes, it does oil properly, that was the first thing I tested when bought it. Links run on top of the bar, i can also do a close up photo of that as well. I will check again and report back.No, put the bar and chain on with the washers and nut, tension it right,
make sure bar doesn’t move,
then turn the chain by hand and see if you find loose spots or spots where it gets tight,
it should spin pretty much the same as it rotates.
.404 is large, what cc is the saw, is it a Husqvarna or Stihl.
I don’t use a .404 , but would the drive links be larger and rubbing between the
rails, or on the bottom of the track they run in, they should not run on the bottom
of the track, only on the top of the rails.
You mention oil and debris from cutting, you must have cleaned it very well as
I don’t see a drop of oil, are you sure the saw is oiling.
Check the back end of the bar next the drive gear, make sure it’s not bent or closed in,IT is Stihl 08s. Originally comes with .404.

Am that tired I had to think what that meant, woke myself up laughing when it clicked.(Metamorphosis)

I see you are from Bulgaria, welcome.
Show us a picture of the inside cover.
Try putting on the bar and cover without the chain. Flip saw over and with the chain brake off, finger or tool see if the sprocket spins freely.
What has changed since it was working properly? What and how your were using it and what happened?
Most of the time it is the last thing you did that caused the change in condition.
