Important to follow the advice about getting all of the air out of the cooling system. I always wait to top off the system until I get the front end up. Also important to make sure the 1/8" hole is drilled in the thermostat.
A pain in the tail to check that the thermostat isn't in backwards but it can happen.
Water in the expansion tank should be about to the interior shelf when the engine is cold.
