What are the experts' thoughts on properly building a motor so that the coolant stays put?

I'm no expert but make sure that you tighten the tension bolts in sequence and to specs....

and dont let the motor get too hot. this might be material for another thread but ive seen a lot of 12a's that look like they ran a little warm for a long time and it looks like it does damage
