Use of high quality, tacky assembly lube (or baby-fresh scented
Vaseline/petroleum
jelly)
- Assemble front cover w/o paper gasket, using Permatex Ultra Black, with
engine
right-side up -> let stand for atleast 30 minutes (use this time to get a
snack)
- Assemble baffle plate/pickup tube/oil pan, using Permatex Ultra Black,
with engine
upside down -> let stand overnight

Just an FYI for you guys and another 2 cents of mine.  Hope this helps.

Brian and group,
The finest assembly lube I have ever used is made by Redline. 
(yes the oil guys) The lube is medium body, about like white
grease, and doesn't run at temps below 90° F. This stuff must 
cause cancer or something, because otherwise it's just too good. I
have assembled around 100 bike race engines and NEVER had a scuffing 
problem while using it. Super stuff. Bill Jepson
