Mr Stripes can you tell me what the important do's & dont's are you mentioned? maybe I missed somthing. I don't want to give up yet.
Thanks.

The do's and don'ts tend to apply to building an engine from more that one.
Key point is only use matched engine cases (cases from one factory engine unless you know how to read the colour codes.

If you remove a cluitch always and i mean always use new clutch bolts. Never tighten for a second time as the will shear as initial torque is past the tensile limit of the bolt.
There are many more but they are key points
