I believe a new impeller is suppose to arrive today.
I’ll mic the widths of the two and see if the new
on is any thinner.

Good idea about the gasket. Of course, I could always
touch the impeller on the belt sander, but uniformity
might be “iffy”.
I know the gasket would help, as when I loosed up the
four pump cover screws, the driveshaft turned more
reasonably, in my opinion.

Prepare to be boarded!
