That didn't cause the heads on a 2000 Boxster S to crack.. They crack for no reason.
2000 Boxsters are notorious for this issue, I have 3 here now all the same condition.

Nope. The pump didn't just seize. It seized as collateral damage from something else failing, and that debris being pulled into the pump. They never seize out of the blue, there's always a deeper issue and you better find it, or it will find you.
As far as the Worldpac classes, the one this weekend is likely the very last one for the M96. WTI adopted my DFI and Cayenne engine classes and now that we've done the M96 class for 32 years, they are likely to abandon it.
If the class is abandoned by WTI, I will still host the class with Tony Callas and may travel to do the classes just like with WTI- Just on my own. I have several new hands on classes at my new training facility, to include enthusiast level classes.

An uncanny urge for 3.6 upgrade that requires justification to wife; thus you use the statement impending doom engine will implode and cost more to repair later.

3.8L on the way
My F6I 3.8L Street Performer+ upgrade (with ECU tune) is approaching (fall 2020 at Jake’s facility). No issues with my current 3.2 but I’m looking forward to having a really special car combining the 3.8 with my 2004 550SE. In preparation I’ve upgraded the suspension, made some minor exterior cosmetic changes and refreshed the interior (in progress now).
Coming from a Jaguar XKR (heavy touring GT) I’m looking forward to the hp/torque bump in a much more driver focused car. I’ll still miss that supercharger whine, but the flat six song with the muscle to back it up in a tuned chassis lightweight will make the Jag a distant, yet fond, memory.
