Hi Jim.
Welcome to the forum.
I would suggest going to this section and peruse the many articles on the builds done.

To list all the tips you will find there would be a monumental task all by itself.
Not to mention the many engine builds you can find here:

And especially here:

Get your parts and start building... but don't get in a hurry... take your time and do it the best you can..
