In an ideal world you should really hone the bores out at min, and replace rings when ever you remove pistons, as the rings will really struggle to bed in again on glazed bores as they will never go back in the same place as they came out, which will cause blowby...hopefully over time they will bed back down again..

As for noises down the inlet, sounds like possibly some valves arnt seating?, dissconnect stop solenoid and get someone to crank it with intercooler off, while its motoring listen to the inlet, if you here any pops / hiss's then theres a valve not seating.
