Congratulations, this is after you have looked at the car, but everything you described to look for is correct. As far as CEL, first check to make sure that it actually lights up initially on start up. CEL is only for emissions related issues for the most part. Was the RMS changed when the clutch and IMS were changed out as well?
My timing chain rattles at initial start up for maybe a second at the most but never while driving and from reading from other Porsche owners, it is something that Flat 6 engines do but not a deal breaker unless rattles are constant while driving.
