Water Pump Clearance - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got this truck in pieces, so I'm not the one who took it apart. As far as I know this is the original water pump and motor. The water pump doesn't clear the timing cover without leaving a gap. Is something else supposed to go in there? It appears to fit on my 1-ton with the same engine. There is a mark on the back of the water pump, so it was obviously touching the timing cover. Should i just tighten the crap out of it and hope for the best?
