No I hadn't but thanks for thinking of me.
However I bought myself a Golf on the bay of fleas yesterday that has a 1Y engine in it. Which is going to get scrubbed and cleaned and tinkered with and merged with my dead engine to give me that little bit more oomph in the engine bay.

Have you found this thread on here "1.6d to 1y the definitive guide" - might answer a few questions!

Yes. Have read it a few times. And when I have the donor Golf in front of me I'll be reading it a few more times.
Taking it slow with lots of research.
