Any water pumps I've been into can't rub the housing unless there is
something else wrong and I would think you need to take care of whatever
caused the blade to rub against the housing first.

Corrosion is a different matter and I've temporarily filled corrosion caused
voids, but only until I could get another water pump. I did this in a 1959
Mercedes I used to own.

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Fill the pits with JB weld and file or sand the face smooth. I had one that
was way worse than that.
