Well, the B20 goes in to the machine shop for the final time in a few days. (waiting for rod bushings from Veteranproduktor) Finally!

Thought I would troll for tips, anything is appreciated. Never done an engine rebuild before and want to try to avoid the "first-time-I-did-a-rebuild-I-didn't...)

Basically following Haynes and Tom Monroe's Engine Builder's Handbook. Not overly worried but want to hear from the voices of experience.

Recent head bolt thread gave me the anti-sieze tip to get best torque results, something I hadn't thought of. So just wondering what else is out there.

So...

-preventing leaks?
-running in?
-first startup?
-anything, anything at all

Whatever you have I'm interested.

Thanks in advance,

-Mario E.
