I just had a good friend who is a mechanic take a listen to my engine. i ended up doing an oil change yeserday so that's fresh. I haven't done a valve check or re-adjust yet,..probably later tongiht. However, as we listened to it he told me right away that is was the water pump! he listened to it with a piece of metal rod and then did I and yeah, sounds terrible!!!
Soooo,..here's my question. Can i rebuild it? If so what's the best way (any tips/tricks, etc.??) and if its rebuildable where can i locate parts?? Thanks in advance as always! You guys have been a great help thus far with it!

You should be able to buy a reman for $25-35.

If not, try a local mom & pop parts store for a rebuild. If they don't have a rebuild, go to the links section and check with the on-line vendors.

Heck the core charge maybe so small that you could just keep the old one.
