Update:
Got the timing wheel back in its proper place and timed properly now however at load there is a nailing noise at #5 cylinder (did not do this prior to the engine swap). Did a compression test all cylinders are good. Swapped one of the other injectors with the #5 and there was no change. So it turns out that the new pump that I have had for years has had an internal issue all along. So next step will be to remove it, for a 3rd time and send it to the local Bosch certified shop for analysis/repairs.

I will update you when I know more.
