know what you are building it for i.e. stock,street,N2o,forced induction ext... spec's change so much basing on what you are building it for as well as part's

clean it twice!!!
assm. in a clean room or area!
double check the part's you get from the machine shop dont just take there word for it people make mistake's dont make it your mistake...

check all you part's gaskets and seal's!

have the right tool for he job and double check your trq. on bolt's
if you not sure about the specs check around dont just take some one's word on it

ask if you dont know/ to many people dont ask and regret it in the end...

mark your rod's

plasti-gadge your bearing's!!!

check you ring gap's
dont assume there right

if a part look's bad DONT USE IT!!!!

but there are just a few and a life long rule for your automotive project's is

cheep, reliable, or fast.....choose 2....

there is so much more but there are a few
