skip the rebuild kit and just go with this from Hardin Marine I changed mine over several years ago on my 496 and never had another issue just change the impeller depending on use, it cost a little more but they are worth the money!

The problem with this repair kit from EBAY is you are using the same depth impeller that is used without the small inner SS wear plate insert dropped in.
Impellers work, prime , flow , and volume flow correctly with engineered designed tolerances of the impeller itself amd the internally housing measurements
When you put that small SS insert wear plate into the impeller housing you are closing the impeller housing depth up the thinkness of the wear plate.
However thick that wear plate is - that thickness needs to have the same shorten in the impeller.
Example - If the wear plate is .090 thick then that's how much the impeller needs to be .090 shorter.
If not you are squeezing a .090 to big of an impeller into a space ( the impeller housing) that is now ,090 shorter because of the added small insert wear plate that you just dropped into the housing.
the housing depth internally does not match the correct impeller depth. The Impeller will hang .090 over the housing really squeezing / compressing the impeller down when you bolt everything back together..
Sorry for the redundancy as I am trying to make all of this to understand fully
The kit is a band aide that will wear your impeller out faster and cause just as much cavitation if not more than before.
Kind of like putting a 10 incher object in a 9 inch hole, jam / cram that thing right on in. Its going to get hurt especially if it spins a million miles per hours. just saying
