Buttoned it all up and started it.
Nasty tic tic tic at the front of the engine, up top. Once a
revolution,
near as I can tell. Almost sounds like a pre-ignition ping or a really
loose valve lash.
It's non-interference, so no damage was done.

As for the noise, check the cam gear and make sure everything is
aligned and hooked up correctly; I had a similar noise, and that was
the problem (I did something wrong when putting the gear back on).

Well, I didn't remove the cam gear but I gave it a look anyway.
Sure enough, the back half of the guard was tweaked up and ticking in
the hole in the cam gear. Playing card in the spokes...
Thanks for getting me looking that direction and, thanks James for the
words of encouragement.

...now to deal with the water pouring out the bypass tube O-ring on the
water pump.
If it isn't one thing, it's a #$@&% 'nother.
Behind the exhaust manifold toward the rear of the motor remove the bolt

that holds the tube to the block & you will never pinch the o-ring again

That beast can be a bear to get a clear shot at on a turbo car.
