Dont risk it. Dont take cheapass shortcuts either. Not when it comes to
the motor. Since its out already, remove all (#4) the freeze plugs and
replace them, they're CHEAP!!! Just do it and be done with it. No worries
is what your after right? Its much easier to change freeze plugs out of
the car than when its in. 

I dont know what you guys see in 16V's. They got tons more annoying parts
to remove and install. Sheist. :)
