I think I am looking for feedback from 'old' saab 99 ers. I have been recently aware of (3) waterpump failures on my cars or friends cars. They are all the last version of the (3) water pump versions, the 12-cog gear shaft. Is there any way to prevent these failures ? Is it the problem of combinig a lay shaft gear with many miles on it with a 'new' water pump gear ? Is it adviseable if building a 'B' motor to back date to the 6-cog shaft and pump? , or did they fail also. Why the change in the gear type ? So any feed-back would be appreciated. I am feeling wary of my 'B' motor cars and will the shaft/pump fail. Most frustrating was the 1980 900T with 80k that had been sitting for 6 years and when polished up and tuned - no water pump function - no known problem when parked. Bob
