exactly as bluecorsab said make sure everything is spotless before puttin it on and theres no oil or anything anywhere in the engine, then oil the parts up so it goes in easily and will keep it lubricated and make sure you use correct torque settings

you would benefit from having it done proffesionally mate as a GOOD engine rebuild requires specialist tools and very fine tolerances also i would suggest having it hot tanked to clean everything
