Why the crank bolt? No need to touch the crank to adjust the FIP timing.
Easy to mod the fuse box for the third fuel pump circuit, just a 1N4005 diode needed.

They don't turn faster, the mapping doesn't accept the engine has started until a slightly higher rpm.

the RAVE says to change the cam bolt and if I'm not mistaken also the crank bolt, in addition to the 14 head screws. I only have the new cylinder head screws, I couldn't find the one for the cams, and looking at it it's not damaged, so I'll reuse it. it has a pair of "only" 50nm. the head screws on the other hand have a very high load

Rimmer Bros sell the cam bolt. If you search my recent posts on coolant pressure I think I put the part number somewhere.

This weekend I continued with the work, after having assembled the sump and the oil pump, I positioned the lower part of the chain and sprockets
then timing protection casing, I tightened the crankshaft bolt to the expected RAVE brute force, then water pump with metal impeller.
Finally the headboard is put on! In this positioning phase I struggled a lot to center the gasket and the centering bushes. Now the gym begins for the long tightening procedure.
After putting the belts in place, I go to measure the compression and here's the surprise, cylinder 2 and 3 no compression! You should know that I live in Umbria, the land of the Saints, everyone was called to order to solve the problem. Everyone got together and pointed out to me that I would have to dismantle the cylinder head again because when putting it in position with the camshaft mounted, I had clumsily bent two valves. So it's my fault alone, they say so but I have some doubts
The result of the day is
- sore right arm,
- two bent valves,
- unfinished work,
- canonical warning for foul language.
One way or another we will make it

Is the cylinder head perfectly flat with no distortion?

yes, the head has been tested with a rectified ruler and has no distortions. Same thing for the base.
