Just one comment. Did you check that the sump gasket had holes in it 
where these should line up with those in the block.
In particular the one just outboard of the oil strainer return pipe. 
There were in the past gaskets around without this hole and this might 
cause the oil pressure relief valve not open correctly. A higher than 
comfortable oil pressure can then happen with possible damage to the oil 
pump. I have seen one example of excessive oil pressure lead to a 
sheared oil pump drive.
