Good luck at the machine shop.

So it sounds like I should stamp them, prior to taking them to the machine shop. Where should I stamp them? Do I stamp the metal sleeves (top and bottom ones) that are between the connecting rods and crank?

I would definetly stamp all your pieces before you take it to the machine shop.
I stamp the rod and caps like this:

I found this of main some main caps

Would numbering the main caps start with 1 at the front of the engine then work back to 5? Like cylinders move front to back.
