Don't make the same mistake I did, I've just converted my Mk1 to 16v using a siezed lump  :rolleyes:

Make sure its moving now and put a bit of oil each bore to keep it all fresh & then turn it at least once a week to be sure -  You wouldn't believe how anoyying it is having to do another engine swap having just done one that you didn't even get to use  :angry:
