Worst thing you can do is read a haynes for a engine rebuild.
Most important but basic things which people over look:
OCD Cleanliness. Everything has to be stupidly clean
All bearings should be lubed well before fitting as the first few seconds of its first start are the most critical. Use engine building paste or if its going to be run up almost straight away after the build is done, a good quality oil.
Make sure everything is torqued in the correct pattern to the correct torque.
Don't use too much instant gasket where its not needed.
