Don't know if it is my vision getting worse or the lack of ability to zoom in on my cellphone. It looks like the register got a little dinged.
That register is critical because it is what locates the bowl bushings concentric with the thrust bearing.
It doesn't appear that it is too bad, as long as the bowl registers.
Could you turn the shaft without binding? That would be a good indication of potential problems.
How do the bowl vanes look? Are there any chunks missing? If yes, it would never be as good as it could be
