If they have expanded, I press them back together and weld them up every time.  Change to a brass shear pin and move on.  The design was a good thought, but the whole thing is a compromise in my opinion.  The removable bushing plate under the water pump and using the water pump screws to hold the sealing surface together with a gasket mashed in between just seems like an inferior design to me.
