Cool!

When you get it back from the shop you will be thoroughly pleased. Not 
many more-fun things than assembling a motor with spotless, machined, 
cleaned, lubes painted parts!

Don't worry about mixing up the pushrods, they're interchangable. Check 
'em for flat though. There are fancy fixtures for that, but with this 
loose motor they're likely fine, or bent. After cleaning, roll them on a 
sheet of glass, peer underneath and look for a varying as you roll it. 
Make sure it's not just due to a burr on the end where the ball end is 
pressed in.

Also the ball ends wear, and grow a pimple on the end. I admit I'm just 
using them still. As long as the contact surface is mirror shiny it 
should be fine. If it's rusted or rough it will eat precious parts, best 
to replace it.

I take craploads of digital pictures. You can magic-marker notes right 
on the parts, point with your finger, etc. Seems so... illiterate but a 
picture really is a 1000 words when it comes to 3D parts!

The standard trick is to put two good nuts on the end of the stud, jam 
them together with a pair of wrenches, and put a wrench on the lower nut 
to remove. If the nuts slip on the stud, jam some more. You might end up 
ruining the nuts, but they're cheap, and if doesn't work, it's probably 
really stuck!
