[Vwdiesel] 1.6 head on 1.5 block?

[Tony and Lillie]

I did the opposite, put a 1.5 head on a 1.6 block. I think the only real 
problem would be getting it to line up. This is because, the holes in a 1.6 
head are 12mm, and the 1.5 uses 11mm bolts. Probably require some sort of 
spacer in two of the head bolt holes.
