I'm not trying to under estimate your capabilities BUT if you gotta ask how to assemble it maybe you should have someone with experience do it or at minimum help you. These engines are built tight. Other than that no big secrets. Specs are at GNTTPE.org

ditto as above! I would find a buick engine guy in your area. Lots of diffrences in the setup of the bottom end vs a small block chevy or ford. Otherwise if you have the tools (mics) then take ur time and double check everything and you can be sucessful. Good luck Jon Hanson

The torque specs are available at gnttype.org. As far as any extra tips: all I can think of would be run a tap through all the bolt holes to clean 'em out, make sure you flush out the oil pump screen and get a new mounting gasket for it, consider replacing the oil filter housing (where the oil pump gears ride) and make sure you pack the oil pump cavity with vaseline. If the machine shop did not replace the cam bearings have that done, regardless of how they may have looked.

I would have been nice had you been that specific in your original post. Unfortunately, you chose to be sarcastic and add the rolleyes smiley to add even more sarcasm.
You will find tons of help on this board. Except when you come on copping an attitude at the drop of a hat.

BTW, turn the caps lock off. All caps is "screaming" when talking via a keyboard.
