After you get it leveled I would check:
TIR at inner spindle nose.
Difference in height of ways from spindle to end of bed.
TIR with chuck and a pin gage.
Turn a piece of 1.5" steel rod over 5" of the length and measure the difference in diameter, checking for taper.
Difference in height between tailstock and spindle.
Run motor for over 15 minutes and check the temperature.
