Good news: water pump is fine. Tapping noise is my paranoia amplifying the sound. Mechanic could barely hear it, but checked the tensioners, water pump, fan clutch, etc and all are in perfect condition.
The valve cover is leaking vacuum. He quoted 10 hrs of labor plus parts. My intent is to drop off the following parts, and pay for the $1000ish in labor--my wife has demanded that I spend one weekend not working on the truck.
Parts:
LR051835--valve cover ($184)
LR037089-- fuel injector kit ($18 x 3)
LR041680--supercharger to intake manifold gasket ($45)
LR041681--intake manifold gasket ($18 x 2)
So, about $1300 all in. Or I can pay the $320 in parts and $300 in Atlantic British special tools for the injector removal and reinstall, and then do it myself under a disapproving gaze...
