as for belt tension it will always be a little bit off on a worn belt as they do stretch, as long as you slackened off the cam pulley and made sure they could move easily when you tensioned the new belt all should be well.
Ok I'll do that to check it then, I think if anything the woodruff key could have been slightly clockwise so its worth checking.
Yes I did loosen the cams and cleaned them up so they moved easily, although they didn't really move when I tensioned the belt, but as I was happy with tension I left it.

That's the video. Unsure if it will embed on here.

tired tappets are not unheard of these days, and on a hot idle oil pressure will be lower especially on tired bearings, which will highlight a slightly sticking tappet, they can be dismantled and cleaned which will quieten most down.
Not sure what you mean about the crank bolt driving the pump? Isn't the pump driven by a chain directly off the crank? The bolt was done up to 120Nm though so should be good.
I may start it again then now its cold to see if the noise doesn't come back til its warmed up.
