Put it all back together... solved the fan bearing bracket issue....

no more scraping from the fan pulley..


I guess I would have never figured there were two issues: the scraping...and another sound... well i am thinking bearings in the water pump...... no leak...and the water pump pulley isn't wobbly or anything.

i took off the belt and the engine runs with no noise....

Well, I don't have a spare water pump in the parts bin...so that kind of stinks...
