Andy,
>2/ I've fitted a re-machined cam, the rear sealing plate, and hand tightened

There is a precision spacer plate that forms a thrust locator for the cam.
It mounts to the block with two bolts.
It is sandwiched between the cam and the timing wheel, so it will be
loosey goosey till the timing wheel is on and tight.
>3/ Where do the the two cylinder head mounting *studs* go in the block?

On the manifold side front and rear positions only.

Go to a bearing store, its just a ball bearing.
Take one of your others as a reference.
