Leak down test engine as recieved.
Tear down clean and inspect all parts
Lap deck,
Lap head surface
Measure every engine for pushrods.
Test valve springs out of the box
Check and set installed height.
Torque every bolt then paint mark it
Wash all parts so clean you can eat off them.
Heavy duty assembly lube.
New oil and filter before start up, then change the oil and filter after 1-2 heat cycles.
Cut the filters open to inspect for any metals

Not necessarily in that order but you get the point.
All of this is the correct way to do things. I've done it like this many times and always have good success with engine longevity no matter how the customer would drive it.
