Default 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.

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?
