When I did my wife's Camry engine, I didn't bag or label anything. Everything went back together pretty well. Had a couple spare parts left, nothing too bad though.
Was tempted to buy something like this and then I would just have it and be able to document EVERYTHING I do.

... well.. maybe not .. "everything".

Definitely wouldn't hurt. Especially if you do this sort of thing alot.
Here's twenty dollars well spent that is just as good or better than bagging everything. http://www.lowes.com:80/pd_124553-94...&stop_mobi=yes. Just label each one.

I've just recently done this. you can attach a pickup block to the top of the intake(where the throttle body is mounted or to the front of the heads and back as well. I did it intake coming out, heads going in. I had the block hot tanked and cleaned up the pistons and rods myself. Got a set of iron ram heads from Hughes Engines. 953 delivered with one piece valves and springs. PM me and I can give you alot more insight into what you can do and some work arounds too. Or just ask here. I dropped about 3k into mine, but I'm planning on keeping my truck for some time.

I had 130 in tanking, cam bearings, freeze plugs, and a light hone. For the rods and pistons, I parts washed the rods and pistons, then used carb cleaner on the heavy build up in the ring grooves, oil holes and top. A vinyl brush and precision screw driver work wonders. Just be gentle and don't score the top of the piston or the grooves.
