If it was me complaining about the previous owner of my 99T leaving me three distinct failures inside the engine I had blueprinted, and he had then torn apart to put the wrong pistons in it, then yes. That's the engine that is in those photos, with #3 piston/con rod poking through the block. The re-assembly was...not done well... Particularly annoying after all the effort I had gone into making it dead-freaking-nuts-right when I built it initially. > I dont have to remove the waterpump to get the shaft out, at least I did not > have to with the donor engine.

Well, make sure you get the right number of teeth on those two gears; there are two versions of that shaft, and the water pump and dizzy's gears have to be the right ones for the shaft you use. I've never pulled that shaft without taking the water pump out, but if you look here: http://davehinz.com/oldsite/saab/99turbo/reanimation/cleanup/img_1470.html That's looking down the bore of the water pump showing the gear on that layshat. IF you take it slow, it may come out. There is nothing to "grab" the shaft coming out when you pull it, so if you can't just slide it out and you feel a hard stop, stop. I'd pull the dizzy first just to get that out of the way, and if you have a mechanical fuel pump (I assume not) get that out of there as well. If you don't have to pull the water pump, you don't want to. I don't know the diameter of the dizzy gear on that shaft compared to the water pump gear, that and the lobes for the fuel pump and such would be the other things which might hit the water pump's gear.
