cleanliness, check and double check all measurements/clearances and trq. settings. use plenty of assembly lube/oil where it is needed. good luck.

make sure all threads are clean + lube up the bolt faces and threads where applicable before tightening,remmember to spread he ring gaps about 90deg apart from each other
to limit blow by.
