One thing that is very helpful to me - and I've built several of these motors:

When you pull off parts like the oil pump and front cover, keep the bolts installed on the pump / cover. Attach them with zip-ties so they can't back out. It's basically impossible to remember where they all go, even if they're in a bag. Order/length matters on several of the parts - especially oil pump and front cover.


thats why kewlynx suggested to use a cardboard box and punch holes in it where the bolts go. that's what i do, it works great.
