Normally if i tear down an engine i organize and keep track of every part so i know what rocker push rod and lifter went where, i don't mix them up until i decide what is getting replaced, every part can tell a story when it comes to wear.

Yeah haha. I luckily I thought about that prior to tear down, although I didnt stamp them, I have them numbered using tape. I will be buying new rods, so I tossed those. And the bearing, I made sure to bolt them in the same direction they were sitting, prior to removing each piston.
I hope I covered my bases!
I appreciate your pointers, I definitely am in "absorb everything" mode lol
