Make sure you don't put the gasket on upside down.... (has happened)

If there are alot of hoses and ele connectors, it is easy to put a peice of tap on each side of a connector and a number to identify which is what. I did that on my first dsm motor without issues.

Most of us can look at a DSM connector and know what it is for but that isn't the case on a foreign motor.

Do the timing belt and water pump at the same time.

Good luck.
