Question water pump rubbing against cyl wall...

So the bearing went bad and when I took off the water pump I noticed the impeller has been rubbing on the cylinder wall. there looks to be about 1/16th to 1/8th inch removed from the insides. Is this something I should be worring about or will this motor be able to truck on?

The #1 cylinder is machined to allow for impeller clearance.
