I'm sorry I had a good laugh at the few different spellings of Weiand. I used to have trouble deciding how to pronounce it too, and I guess this just struck me funny. Weinand - Weind - Weinad - !!!
The Q/C guy will probably suggest they exchange it for another of the same pump. It's probably a problem with the way it's designed and all of them will leave you with some rubbing.
To be perfectly honest, the GM replacement pump is more than fine for most stock applications and even modified small blocks. I would recommend just getting a factory replacement pump that you know will fit and you can get it locally.
