Chad,

None at all, to my knowledge.  Just apply a liberal coat of assembly lube
to each bearing when they go in.   Also, crank the engine, without spark
plugs, until the oil pressure comes up, for the initial startup.

This was suggested to me by a lister a year or so ago and worked fine on my
TR3.
