Some days are definitely better for drinking beer than working in the shop. When I start fumbling everything I usually call it a day if it isn't something that needs to get done immediately.
When the time comes make sure the o-rings are nice and warm before streching them. They'll hold their stretch better that way. Use a drop-light to warm up the cylinder and the head. Lay it on them (not the o-rings though) for an hour before you go to do the job. With everything nice and warm it will be easier to keep the o-rings in place. And do all that GMP says too.
If it makes you feel better the last time I put my cylinder on I forgot the base gaskets also
