Usually if the pump has been retimed it's because of stretched chains.Have you got a stethoscope or a long screwdriver you can use to locate where the rattling is coming from?
I can give a listen with a long screwdriver, my train of thought was that of stretched chains due to the car starting fine with the old engine until it blew up on me.
This is what I’ve been trying to decide for all this time if it was the pump or the chain but there’s no easy way to find out hence my post to dive in with the chain.

Worn FIP's usually show error codes and/or the MIL light.
They can sound like a bag of nails if the modulation is way out.
German engineering for youThat's the ****ty driveshaft nut to replace the one that's nearly rusted away on the BMW 320i I've got a new reluctor ring to fit.
No error codes but I’ll check again tonight and doesn’t sound too horrible when on but I’ll check with the nanocom.
Regards your starting problem I would be checking glow plugs first. That they all have power and are working and most important they are NOT the cheap china copies . You need Beru, GKN other folk will give you some makes as well. I had the china ones in and murder to start in cold weather, changed to GKN and starts first time
