How about including the gasket in the package? 
And an option for a polished unit (incl. pump) like PRW?

I was thinking the same thing.
Sure would eliminate some headaches, right?

My MP alumn housing did the same thing with alum (edelbrock) pump,needed 2 gaskets to clear.
The reason people are having the "scraping" issue with ours and Edelbrocks pumps is that they require a gasket that is at least .050" thick. Many of the gaskets on the market are made of thin material (.020-.030), and that's why people need to double them up.
The closer you can get the impeller to the machined area in the housing, the more efficient the pump will be, so we all try to get it as close as possible. However, you must use the correct gasket, or it will scrape slightly. Our part number 112-1008 is a nice thick one for about 6 bucks.
I must have gotten lucky? I am using one your AL housings and an EDDY pump, felpro gasket that I had laying around. Never even THOUGHT to test for clearance, but would certainly had discovered it during fan install. Mine does not rub. (???)
