well all finished today...sort of.
Engine is running which is good. Still have some wiring changes to make and off to the dyno.
Can't see the timing marks on the new balance so will have to sort that out before the tune.
One injector was stuck. A little compressed air helped dislodge it.
A couple of oil lines needed tightening else no leaks which is always good.
With the 15W run-in oil, oil pressure was in the 70s during idle.
No weird noises to overall ecstatic.
List of work on this rebuild is pretty long. For those that are interested list is below.

Engine:
Machining
Crank re-ground and polished
Hone/bore/Deck block
Head rebuild - New valve guides and two valves replaced.
Valves and seats reground.
Custom CP high compression Pistons
Rod small end bushes replaced.
ACL race bearing (Big and mains)
New gaskets Cometic kit and head
Engine "blueprinted"
New oil pump, water pump.
Winged and gates sump (engine now 5Ltr capacity)
Adjustable cam gears
Exhaust to inlet cam swap
KA24 throttle body installed
Custom steampipe exhaust manifold
Custom dump pipe (large wastegate dump)
Manifold and dump pipe heat wrapped
Added flex pipe and another hanger on the exhaust
Turbo water and oil lines replaced (Speedflow 100 series water and 200 series oil - I should have shares in that company)

All fuel flex lines replaced with 200 series Teflon
Bonnet pin mounts re-enforced (noticed bonnet lifting at high speed)
Air box modified
Added EGT sensor

And after all that I still use a piece of aluminium to hold up the bonnet :)

Unsure if the video will work, it was taken using my phone.
