Starting reassembly-any advice?

Alright guys, finally I'm going to be throwing this thing back together tonight, I got everything back from balancing and am ready to go. This is a complete rebuild down to every last gasket and bearing. All internal parts are in sig. All of the machine work has been done and now it's just reassembly.

I'm looking for any additional tips, suggestions, things to really watch out for, ect as I'm going back together with this thing? I'm doing the bottom end tonight which is a very critical part. Not gonna lie, I'm getting slightly nervous lol...

Make damn sure everything is clean including your hands.
Check your clearances, make sure you have the proper ring end gap.
Torque the bolts according to specs.

I have built 3 LS6 motors in the past year. My best suggestion is never assume always ask and post your Q before continuing. I have learned alot from this site, any Q you could ask has already been asked so reserch. You can PM me and I will give you my phone number to call if you need more info. Just take your time and be thorough on the build.
