wanted: VW 1600 shortblock

I just put an engine together, front
bearing seized (ran great for about 30
seconds).....

crank, cam, case. Used or new. I
am in California.

links to cheap parts online, or whatever
you've got is appreciated.

Did you find the reson why it seized?
That would be interesting.
If nothing else, for yourself at least.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

front bearing seized to crank,
bearing spun in the case and
stretched the dowel pin.

why it seized, I don't know.
oil was flowing to heads,
all other bearings....

perhaps I had endplay too
tight?
