Hope you can get everything cleaned up. Sometimes it's hard to get all debree out of the engine. I recommend to clean everything really really careful.
Hydraulic lifters: to be honest - i would recommend to replace them all.
You didn't mention the chain tensioners in your listing. I would also recommend to replace them all.
Also i would recommend to replace piston rings and crankshaft bearing shells and inspect the cylinder liners carefully.
Because the engine and gear box is out of the Box check the 2 mass fly wheel.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for yoyr feedback.
Everything cleaned (2 or 3 times
) and all wearing and moving parts replaced, including piston rings, bearings, chain tensioners and also hydraulic lifters (after reconsideration), etc.
Finally got the full gasket set from UK this week. So now I can really start the assemply with full swing
Desided to try ceramic IMS bearing from Germany (
FVD Online Shop - FVD10590103 - Intermediate Shaft (IMS) Repair Kit "M96.Single Row" Ceramic -). Let's how it will work, but looks great at least.
Now going back to my garage again
