Lesson 1....camshafts especially aren't stand alone pieces.
The OP got off easy this time.
Glad you got it figured out.

Just a thought but breaking multiple rocker arms could have put metal fragments in the engine.
I would be careful slapping on new heads and firing it up.
Had 1 C clip from a rocker arm come off on me and half of that tiny C clip locked up my oil pump and almost ruined a new build.
