Apart from the flywheel locking bit I don't think you need to make up timing tools, just line up the marks as in this manual.
If you take your time and follow the timing manual details you should have no problem, I have done many in the past, mostly in Iveco Daily's.
You don't have to time the injector pump on the JTD, so all you need is TDC mark on crank and the cam pointers lined up.
I trust the pistons were out of the way when you fitted the cylinder head or you may bend valves!!!
When you are sure timing is correct and all tensioners etc. tight, then turn engine by hand at least two full revolutions. to make sure no valve to piston contact.
Ideally you should fit a new cam belt and guide bearings etc.
By the way, what was the reason for cylinder head off in the first place? If head gasket then head should have been checked for "flatness" with a straight edge and feeler gauge, if out then head would have needed skimming/machining flat again, also the cause of the over heating needs to have been fixed as head gaskets do not just blow on their own.
Also take care when fitting plastic timing cover etc. as I have heard of cam belt failures by not fitting spacers etc. correctly and belt tensioner failing.
Most of it is common sense if you take your time.

Where is this book from, as mechnic i need it!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha,ha! Since starting as an apprentice in 1969 I soon realised the value of Technical Service Data Manuals, helped by my college lecturer saying when he visited garages he wanted to see the manuals all covered with grubby finger prints from lots of regular use, he said they were no good kept in the office for the secretary to bring out when you had a query. I didn't keep all of them and they only go up to 2012 when the company AutoData that was doing them went towards DVDs and then to online service only. Up until that point I was buying the latest ones every year for my business, the three main ones were the petrol and diesel Technical service data and the Timing belt manuals.
If you look on eBay you sometimes find them advertised,
They covered a wide range of vehicles so what you needed was usually only on one or two pages, but very useful.As you can see well used.

Is the nut on the crankshaft normal thread or left hand thread?
