Also, don't forget to cross your fingers.

No matter what you do, or how well you prepare, there will always be a very large amount of apprehension the first time you turn the key after performing major work.

There are a lot of very good suggestions presented by those who I am sure have much more experience than I and they all sound like very sound recommendations.

I still consider myself a novice, I have torn down and rebuilt seven engines, only one of which was a Porsche (my current 944). Every time I turn the key for the first time I am very nervous that I have overlooked something.

Good luck
