Only a musician...  =)

Alternator and water pump sound okay to me Bryan. The valve train sounds a
little loose - nothing catastrophic, just tired/worn out.

When the bearing goes in the pump it doesn't stop after a few minutes,
that's a different thing you're hearing.  I don't know what it is but my
neighbour's son used to have a Vanagon and when he came to visit it made a
low-pitched chewing sound on start-up.  Shortly after it was replaced with
an older Volvo Wagon...
