One thing you MUST do - run round all the block holding down nuts with a spanner - they can come loose.

Front and rear are a pig to get at, but if there is any sign of the three each side being tightenable (!), then attention is desirable.

Short spanner - they mustn't be over tightened, or you will pull the stud out of the crankcase and the engine will have to come out.

I heartily endorse Simon's advice.
Here's what happens when you over-tighten:
