Yup, all bits accounted for, looking at one in paticular, the broken edges are
completely smooth, like driftwood, probably been broken years

Not good for the bearings. Hopefully you swapped the oil filter regularly.
What springs did you replace them with? Duals?

Lucky you didn't drop a valve!?

Id suggest your babying the car and using the nice low rpm torque presented more serious issues smile
