Got the check valves sorted.
All the bits and pieces made.

Tried stroking the piston by hand and it primed and pumped fine.

When I was assembling it the bolts kept drawing up, but finally tightened. Went to push the piston down with a punch through the hydraulic inlet and it wouldn't budge. HUM

This was one of my build without a drawing projects. Might have caught the fact that after I reamed the barrel and honed it I had .1 wall, the ring grove is .080 deep. Still rather surprised it collapsed on both ends. Don't think I can even get the piston out now without machining the barrel away.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
