One little trick: Get the car up to speed (~30mph) on a smooth road and cut the engine with the trans in neutral. Do some turning and braking, listening for odd noises and clunks.

Another hint: Re-torque the exhaust bolts after the engine first warms up, then again after the first 50 miles.

For some reason, I find that if I "sleep on it" after an assembly or design process (and before I physically test something), I will come up with things that I have forgotten.
