How long can a turkey gobble before you damage the water pump?

[Jonathan Monetti]

I did change the roller bearing w/the TB job.  Best I could muster up the
other day was a piece of rebar to carry the sound (not the best stethoscope,
to be sure), and it *seemed* like the water pump was the source, but you
might be right on this one.  Also, I didn't even think about the
damper...maybe wishful thinking, since I can get the top of the TB cover off
easily but doing the whole shooting match is another story.  

Thanks...will look (listen) deeper into this.
