my water pump pully is hitting the actual water pump housing
i have my engine out of the car and since im doing the complete rebuild i opted to change the water pump. well i got a water pump from a mazda dealer. but i guess now adays they are starting to come as remans. well i installed it and everything looks good. i go to put the pulley and once i tighten the pulley down i hear a dragging sound. i look and the pulley is hitting the housing. well i eyed the line up with the crank pully and it seems to be onpoint. but why would the pulley hit the housing. (i might add that i painted both the housing and the pully but that still shouldnt close the gap between them ) anyone help me out here

I know if you use a Zenki water pump housing (and water pump) and try to stuff it on a Kouki front cover, it won't fit.
But this sounds like something else...
