    New motor and nads straight up there is no reason the engine will go boom. Under boosting( thanks to the ecu's amazing job of controlling it) causing extreme cylinder temps mixed with hot and dirty egr gases it is the main cause of dropping the pin.
    So if its all done I would say your right to go.

    That's the confirmation I was looking for - naturally still got to care for it with some lovely fresh oil and maintenance.

    Hope to pick her up tomorrow morning

    Definitely mate. You still need to look after it. Even more so being a new motor.
    Nice ride too mate. That looks identical to mine when I first bought it. Looks a tad different now.
