    Accident! Water pump pulley touching crank

    Hey i recently got into a front end accident i hit a car going about 25mph which caused my DB bumper to compress almost fully and pushed back the radiator and some other pieces.

    I have a leak which i traced down to the water pump seal or housing. But i have another problem the pulley that spins the water pump is pushed back and comes into contact with the Crank disk. I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of problems this could have caused internally or if i will be able to correct this with a new water pump and maybe using spacers on the pulley to create the room i need again. Here are some pics thanks in advance.

      if the pulley is not bent from it's contact a new pump should cure the problem
