Do yourself a favor and go to honda and buy a new pump. I am surprised they didn't tell you to get a new one. One of the first things i tell people to do when we do a motor for them.

Doesnt IP put the block all back together with a new pump and all you have to do is put the head on? This should be part of the build for the price they charge.

No they don't and to be honest I've torn apart a pump that survived this
and it had zero damage, seems like the filter must have caught the damage. It's a very simple device, I know most say don't trust a used pump, but a new one is pretty damn expensive. Also if you are scared, it's so easy to check it out with a feeler gauge and the specs. Plus when you first start the motor up you do it without combustion and watch for the oil pressure to build (you need a gauge).

It's like doing a timing belt and not replacing the water pump.
