The impeller's center bearing failed and got hot enough to melt the plastic. I flushed the system thoroughly before I installed the new pump, but saw almost no plastic pieces. Most of it fell out when I removed the pump. I appreciate the congratulations. Hope I'm as successful nailing down the EVAP system problem. Maybe then I'll have enough confidence in it to take a run down to Eugene, about 110 miles south of Portland. A friend of mine down there has a 911SC and wants to see my 986, which he called "a classic." I think he's right about that.
