When the BT7 slows down to idle, a loud noise between a rattle and a clatter 
comes from the engine. It sounds like it is coming from the front so I 
checked the fan bolts and the bolt that holds the fan pulley on. Both are 
tight and the fan still has some play so I assume that the problem is a bad 
water pump. Is it better to buy new or have it rebuilt? Should I change the 
fan from stock to six blade while I'm at it? Thanks guys. JL
