Best of luck with it!
You may find that assembling it with "plenty of anti-seize" may affect the square and parallel readings. I might have suggested you just stone the keys and mating keyways a bit to get a less-than-tight fit while maintaining true metal-on-metal contact. If you do find it "out" at all, try taking that anti-seize compound out of there and recheck.
Oh yeah...a brass "shoe" might keep tension better than lead and still not damage the threads. It's the most commonly used method.
