Frank Condelli fixes damage to the case by water pump
impellers using JB Weld.

I'm a bit paranoid it might fall off and gum up the works.
Anyone use anything else, or have experience with a
repair like this lasting a long time?

Regarding the damage to the engine block where the  waterpump impeller
has gouged out a path.  This should be repaired for  proper waterpump operation.
 This too is a very common sight.  I  repair this area with JB weld.  Clean
the damaged area well with a wire  brush on a rotary tool, clean with lacquer
thinner, apply JB weld so that it  will more than cover the damage, let JB Weld
cure, sand the surface smooth with  an orbital palm sander using 120 grit
sand paper.
