did you replace the lifters?
did you regrind the crank and fit bearings to match?
were pistons, bores and rings checked for damage?
oilways in the cylinder head inspected and cleaned?

took the sump off and i think ive found the scrapping noise. removed the sump to inspect the bottom end, accidently dropped my light and it shone on the bottom pulley. there was a mark around the inner face of the pulley where it had been rubbing on something. removed the cambelt cover and its been rubbing on that. will clean out the sump and refit it againt tomorrow nite and try it again. if its quiet then i'll take it for a drive to shut the tappets up!!

Hmmm, Sounding like a derv.

If all else fails start at the tank and finish at the backbox.

Fuel, is there enough or too much? are the injectors spraying ok?
