Mine tirnew in to a total **** storm. Not just motors turned in to drives being gone through to. Props mried all kinds of stuff. I had a real bad twisted prop shaft on the drive for the same motor with the bad lifter.

We just did ours. I'd budget 5k a motor. In the end ours was close to that but because we found things after it was opened which is always the case. Our rebuild:
-8205 plus springs
-Manley valves
-rl931 lifters (morel 4603)
-gaskets
-mil head
-t stat housing W/ cover
-push rods
-didn't replace rockers (300 hours on them)

You say rockers are the killers...in all my research I haven't seen many rocker failures on blue motors in general. I saw one post from Eddie but that was from a bad batch of gold crane needle bearings.
