WTF is going on with my JH?

I've been driving the cabby around for the last few days because of the =
roc's bent rims and/or my wife's 4Runner is in the shop -=20

when I start the cabby (cold or hot), I get this pretty loud grinding =
noise - like something is spinning and scraping and it's definitely =
coming from the belt side of the motor.

Running/revving it around causes it to go away (moreso when it's warm), =
but once it idles for a minute or so, it comes back. And it's been =
getting worse lately.

I'm not quite sure what to make of it - it's a pretty strong runner, =
don't think it's the water pump because the cooling system works fine, =
it doesn't have power steering, so that's out...any ideas?

(incidentally, I plan on getting rid of the JH block and going with an =
ABA - I just worry about doing some irreparable damage if I keep driving =
it (I'm going to have to drive it for the next few days while the roc's =
rims are getting straightened...))

TIA, JT
