 3TGTE rebuilding - need assistance!

Hi!
We're about to embark on a 3T turbo reassembly, as the motor was left for 5 years, and was taken apart recently to check condition. By taken apart, I mean literally into pieces!
Now, I've reassembled a couple of 2TGEU's in my time, but normally I'd mark the timing/cams to get the timing as it was before.. but the owner of this motor has simply pulled it apart without marking anything!
The thing that bothers me, is that this motor is a serious piece of kit.. flowed head, big cams, forgies, o-ring'd, hybrid t3 turbo, link engine management.. and I've never rebuilt a serious race motor. is there anything I need to be careful of? My intention is just to do the old no.1 at TDC, with both valves fully closed, with modded cams, would there be an issue with this? I can't see any factory marks whatsoever anywhere.
And, the bearings were brand new in the motor, when it was rebuilt, and have only been run when the Link was getting tuned. I know this sounds cheap! But they look perfectly mint, barely any wear.. they'd be ok to just throw back in?
And injector suggestions.. this motor was previously tuned to run 18psi reliably, but the injectors are gunky as, and rusty.. what would make good replacements? 5M? 7M? 3S? 4A? 13Bt? Bear in mind, we need something that'd run ok with the link..
