Meh. With the recent wave of utterly asinine stupidity this forum seems to be awash in, just the fact that you used halfway decent grammar and some semblance of respect towards the rules of capitalization puts your head and shoulders above most other new members.

If the pump is on it's way out you should see a drop in oil pressure among other things. If it's making a loud noise you should see a aluminum in the oil also.
Despite what you hear in this forum, these pumps are pretty bullet-proof.
By the way 100K miles is nothing for these cars/oil pumps.

It makes like a pulsating high pitch metal to metal sound from launch all the way to about 3k then fades. The oil pump and the alternator are the only things that aren't new. The motor was just put together a few months ago. I cant really think of anything else it could be. Maybe the alternator but doesn't an alternator make more of a constant high pitch squeal?

Still makes the sound without the alt/wp belt. That just leaves the tension pulleys and the op right? Just to make sure, all the little spacers that go with the crank pulley do they all go on the front of the pulley or some on front and some between that and the timing gear? I'm starting to feel stupid.
