Would you save this water pump?
So, I'm pulling my front cover to replace my leaking gasket, and when I pulled of my water pump, I find this.
Now. I'm thinking this isn't worth saving, but maybe I'm over reacting. The car has NO overheating problems, and runs very cool.
My other concern, is is this normal? Do I have another concern causing this internal mess?
Obligatory naked engine shot!

I'm not assuming I'm going to have a problem, I'm just making sure. I'm also curious what causes this. I want to make sure it's not a sign of a failure somewhere else in the cooling system.

I think it's just from debris and junk in the radiator, mine looked like that last time I had it off as well; I attributed it to the naturally corrosive nature of the coolant / water / other crap in there to pitting the metal. Like todd said, just get a wire brush and clean it up, and you should be fine

As long the bering still spins freely there shouldn't be any reason the pump isn't still good. Give it a good cleaning and flush the system for sure.

Of course now I can't separate the front cover from the power steering/AC bracket.
