Okay, here's some updated on the motor redone.
To spoil it all from the get-go, 1000 km have been driven with the engine so far. No leaks nor mixed liquids
All the outer motor parts were washed in a local paint shop before assembly.

Here assembling the head

Lambda socket was good help with the valves.

Head ready.

Click image to enlarge

Crank assembled.

I used the old bearings, they were like new. Note, N62 bolts fit crank bearing bolts. Much easier to find.

Pistons positioned back.

On to the motor stand.

Flywheel problem. Timing of the chain requires TDC and that need to be locked from the flywheel. That's why flywheel need to be bolted at this point. So I needed to make bushes to extend the gap between motor and the stand to be able to fit the flywheel.

I read some stories of failing oil pumps on these. Assembly manual states that fair slack needs to be here. If this is missed, no doubt there will failed oil pump.

Glogged cat. On exhaust cat is two-part. Glogged section was removed.

Clean cat in comparison.

Tightening the heads. 3 sharpie signs marks the tightening is done. Better do it right.

Click image to enlarge

Heads done.

Click image to enlarge

Fitting the chain.

Click image to enlarge

Chain rails.

Click image to enlarge

I wanted to install the lower front cover first and after that the upper oil sump was installed. This way there was a straightforward process of sealing the most critical seal after heads.

Timing buillding.

Timing of the chain in a nut shell:
Lock crank in TDS.
Lock camshafts.
Tighten chain.
Remove play from VANOS to counter-clockwise. Tighten.
Install sensor plates with guidance tools. Tighten.
Done.

Upper front covers. These should be tightened only after rocker covers are quite tight.

Click image to enlarge

Rocker covers.

Click image to enlarge

New water pump.

Click image to enlarge

Oil strainer dismantled. You can see some history in there. No reason to leave these particled in there.

Click image to enlarge

Appliances intact. One roller was replaced and tightening spring. These are much cheaper to replace than the 'whole unit'. New belts naturally.

Click image to enlarge

Ready to land to its nest. Notice front diff already intact in the engine. Much easier than other way. All the radial seals were replaced in the diff.

Click image to enlarge

It went in like this. Next time I know to lift from the transfer box to help tilt auto box to be in level while seating the engine. Other than that, the rest was quite straight forward. Had to tap other VANOS solenoid with the flashlight to get it working.

Have to click on images for some reason on my phone to see them but thats a fantastic result.

Did you not paint the rocker covers?

Great work ... once we get into our new home and I get a garage id like to attempt this myself.

For some reason the pictures can be seen on mobile version while on (at least) Chrome needs mouse clicks to display pictures.

I did not got the rocker covers painted. Maybe should have. This was my first time opening the heads of the motor so didn't want to do all the details at once.

Have you downloaded RAVE from the wiki?
There in new Range Rover - Engine V8 - Repairs - Variable camshaft unit, both sides are described.

There is actually nothing special in it, really.
After heads are assembled and torqued to the block, both are timed the same way.
The text markings in the end squares of the camshafts are facing up. Then they just locked in position with the locking tools as displayed previously.
Those markings obviously should be rotated correctly before mounting the heads to the block.
