It wont need retiming if its an 899cc - theyre chain driven and you have to get at the bottom end to play with that.
You may find problems if the tappets are too tight, but Id be looking primariliy at the ignition side of things - are the HT leads on the right plugs and are the coils connected correctly?
Is it cranking? What is and what isnt it doing?

it's trying to fire and juddering but if we loosen the tappets it will be tappety again so we can't win either way
I personally don't think is possible to completely get rid of the tappey noise (well may be rallycinq can ).
Just don't make "too" tight, so u can have a car that start with ease.

If the tappets are too tight you will have no compression. Looser is better than tighter (only in this instance).
The oil is supposed to be thin. 10W40 or 15W40. Of you have used 20W50, take it out, flush and start again.
