Replace that water pump!!!!!!!!

There's way too much wobble and movement on that water pump pulley. Either that's a terribly made pulley, or you're losing the bearings on that water pump shaft.

As far as the noise, I don't like it. It's hard to diagnose sounds from video's though, the mic's can magnify some sounds and minimize others. But the sounds coming from that engine in the video would concern me if that's how they sound in person. It might not be anything, but I would want to find the source so I had an explanation.

I just read through this thread, you have a nice car with some good parts. I know there are many others on here who use the QuickTime bell, but I think it is important for them to have an inspection cover, and IMO it's worth it for them to machine one in. Just makes it easier to inspect things like your clutch and flywheel, the throwout bearing. Etc. I agree, your water pump has to go. That an easy thing to do, couple hours. I DO NOT like that knocking, I sure hope you get this figured out.

Take off the belt for the water pump. Start engine. See if the noise goes away...
