One thing I've found in the past is that cold motor assembly is bad. You wouldn't think so but assembling a motor in sub-zero temps throws all your clearances and torque specs way out of whack.

It's been -25C here all week and you can't work outside without some thick gloves. The wrenches literally freeze your hands.
