ok looks like i got it fixed.  I pulled the water pump and installed the harmonic balancer.  There is about a 1/8 of an inch of clearance between the timing cover and the balancer.  But the ones I saw today at the PA Jeep show looked really close too.  Then I clearanced the pump a little and test fit it.  It doesnt rub at all so just need to get a new gasket and put it all back together.  Then just pray it starts up and nothing leaks. fingers crossed.
