Removed the impellor and just ran the motor and it's quiet. There appears to be some slight scoring on the inside of the area where the impellor turns (it looks like it lines up with where the end of the prop on the impellor lies)

I did notice on the end of the magnet that sits in the housing, the hole around the shaft looks a little more oval than round. Here:

So a new implellor would fix the problem? What steps can I take to help ensure that the new impeloor gets seated properly and doesn't have the same problem?
