I mean lock nut as in the nut with four cut-outs in it used for setting tension. Not the steering stem nut that holds the top triple on.

Hmm, been couple years since I've done this; so I may not be remembering details. I seem to remember some way to lock in adjustment before installing top fork-clamp...
Part that holds top fork clamp on should be big bolt. If you have lock-ring properly torqued, installing top fork-clamp and bolt shouldn't affect bearing preload.
Ari's got good procedure here by testing for play with front-end off ground. Better to gradually tighten from too-loose to just-right rather than too tight initially.
