Found plastic baffle piece on the inside of the engine cover seperated from inside of cover, rattled when I tapped on it, 5200'd it in took it for a ride only heard the noise faintly and very intermitant. Making progress, I think I might have the noise licked once the 5200 sets.

That's some good work on your part.
I have a 96' Rude 150 and for what it's worth or not - Evinrude master tech at J&B Marine told me to keep the oil pump as is - no issues. I had another 150 years back and it worked fine with the separate oil tank set up too. I believe the " no VRO " thing was specific to a special situation - will find out.
