Timing: could the timing be off even if I am almost certain that I maintained the position of the timing chain during the head removal/install process. I had the engine at TDC and cam mark lined up when I zip tied the cam sprocket to the timing chain. It all lined up correctly when I reinstalled the head/cams.
If it is a timing issue why would the poor running start only after the engine was warm? Wouldn't the symptoms be constant?
Thanks.

I have found the best way is to eliminate one thing at a time where possible.
The hydraulic valves lifters is a common issue but will disappear over time. With mine I went out each evening and rotated the crank into a different position allowing the lobes to squeeze out alternate lifters.
You probably don't want to hear this but it could be poorly seated head gasket leaking when hot.
Start with the timing as the cams/crank could be spot on but the pump may be a tooth out. Line up cams/crank then remove inspection plug on side of pump, you should see a 'notch' exactly in the middle in the horizontal position.
