If you can answer "yes" to any of these, AND this is your everyday "ride", you might want to put this on the front burner. If "NO", and you're retired, plus have a couple other cars to drive, and have a AAA membership, sure let it go. Always have a cellphone handy. And a peashooter under the seat in case Alfonse and Tony are chasing you again.

No car chases and my wife isn't pregnant ( long past those years!)
I tried moving the water pump pulley but can't feel any movement. There is a very, very small amount of lateral movement when the engine is running.
