Default Engine rebuild questions

After taking the engine apart to fix a lifter noise and finding a horrible amount of wear on all the bearings. I am doing a complete rebuild and need to know if there is anything i should look out for on these engines. Or anything that you wish you would have done when rebuilding yours. I am new to jeeps so any info would help.

just check specs on everything and make sure measures out right. If not replace it.
