When I put the head back on, I was having trouble positioning the #10 & #11 pushrods beneath the rockers. They kept falling into one of the wells or something? Well when I was trying to position the head on the block I think I positioned them wrong and once I tried to turn the engine over it broke a bunch of stuff.

ah, when you were putting the head back on, not the block back on. Yeah, if you don't have things positioned properly, it'll break stuff (especially if you are using the starter to turn it over). Once I build an engine, I turn it over by hand with a breaker bar and check to make sure it spins over freely (I do that as a shortblock first though).
