Just like with any engine, the owner should go over all the bolts and screws
to insure their proper torque. Too many times, and inexperienced enthusiast
will install and begin running an engine without insuring it's proper assembly.

Loose headbolts have caused their fair share of deadsticks.

FBD.
Very good advice! Also, go over the engine a few times after it is run up to operating temps. I'm now opening up all of my engines to look inside for debris left in from the assembly line.
