Care to elaborate a little more, parts source, quality and availability?
It also looks like the hub is pressed on the shaft. That adds new costs/problems to the mix. I now need to hire a shop for the press off/press on work and the hub has to be pressed on to a certain position to maintain pulley allignment. How much cost and energy do I want to expend on a $171 new water pump?

Yep, got one of them myself. In this case it's so easy to check with 100% reliability by simply taking off the belt. Checking the dizzy gear and cam walk just gave me a little "feel good".. 
It did sound that way and also made a terrible rattle upon shut down. I ordered a new one last night but I wouldn't mind having a rebuilt spare. That's a whole lot of aluminum to pitch in the recycle bin.
