All stripped down, except for the cam bearings.

Now THAT is a satisfying picture for my OCD. Everything is in order, and you kept the rod bearings and caps together because they're neither reversible nor interchangeable. Nice.
And, after a trip to the machine shop, those parts will look like brand new.

When I looked at that block, this rivet thingy came to mind:

So this was a non-DOD engine (allegedly), and I was curious if there should have been AFM oil passages. That's what those are, right?

I feel like I'm stuck in a decision loop. To send the heads to the shop I'd want to have them install new valve seals. But when choosing the seals I figure get a kit (or not?) with an upgraded cam and valve springs. The problem is I'm not sure which cam to focus on.
I'm looking to keep/improve down-low torque. It won't be a racecar, and I'm not super concerned with 6000+ RPM gains as the deciding factor.
I like the Truck Norris cam, but am trying to compare to some of the offerings from Cam Motion, and others if worth it. Thoughts?

Precision, PLEASE.
The block has Engine Half@$$ for sure.
Were all the lifters the same, or were some of them Half@$$ lifters?
(Obviously, don't want no Half@$$'n.)
Just compare cams til you find one that makes as much (if not more) torque / power UNDER 3500RpM compared to the one you just took out of that engine.

I'm using a Summit SUM-8718R1 on my recent LQ4 rebuild project for my 06 Suburban 2500. It's like a towing cam. No springs required and I've read not much tuning required...I'm about to find out, LOL. IDK if you can use that one your engine, it has the 3 bolt for the sprocket. You may have to get rid of the VVT?
TTY head bolts with engine in-vehicle
I finally finished cleaning the pistons! Today I washed the block. Soapy water, brush cleaning kit, then dried immediately with compressed air and sprayed it with PB Blaster. I decided to do a quick paint with Rust-Oleum, paintbrush special. I also realized one of my motor mounts is broken...
