wierd sound in the engine after head installation

[grave77]

but I didnt turn the crank shaft after removing the head also I didnt remove the chain wheel so I assume that it was holding the camshafts position.

take it manually to TDC, and check camshaft alignment? What about clearance of parts, tools and similar to the moving parts of the engine like fan, pulleys, and so?

Sorry I don't buy the 24 hour standing with water in the pump, may be something is loose or misplaced around.

Unfortunately assuming something will be okay is not the way to go.
Valve timing is critical and needs to be checked to ensure it is correct prior to reassembly.
I would have the valve timing rechecked by someone who has some experience and then correct it if it is wrong. Then perfom a compression test.

If you haven't bent any valves then thank your lucky stars. If you have, then put it down to an expensive lesson!
