Dropped the motor back into the car, plugged in all sensors and wiring, bolted all accessories back on ready for first startup. It ran for a few minutes then an engine light came on, turned the car off and plugged a scan tool in to find P1383 and P1388 codes which come back to both cams being overretarded. What could be the cause of this? All timing marks are 100% lined up, I used a genuine ford chain tensioner and it has been pretensioned. Anyone had this issue before? All help appreciated! Cheers

It could have... but I'm no expert on what would cause damage to them other than under-oiling... get another set and see if that fixes the problem
