They've put it back together wrong...
Notice your cam caps, they are marked 1, 2 and 3...
Peugeot ALWAYS mark their engines from the flywheel end, so cylinder one is NOT the cambelt end, it's the flywheel end... Therefore, your cam caps should be 1 on the flywheel end and 3 on the cambelt end, the bloke has put them in upside down with them (when looking at the engine, they should say 3, 2, 1 - they actually read 1, 2, 3 from what I can see)...
The cam caps are line bored, meaning the machine runs through them with the caps in place to make the holes, if you switch caps, there may be machining differences (and there usually is...) there's a high likelihood that you'll end up scoring the cams and them seizing - just because it's not seized any more, doesn't mean it failed by seizing it... You can seize an engine solid, let it cool down and it'll run again...
I rekon that's the problem.
