The repair manual tells you step by step all you need to know.
A copy in PDF has been going around the Internet.

This thread is long, but has info related to what you attempt:

Keep the top and bottom of the bearings of the camshaft paired, they are machined after they are bolted together.

Try the oil test to have more certainty about the rings.
Normally, rings don't go bad from night to morning.
They could be also dirty and stuck in the seats if non-synthetic oil has been used for long time combined with short trips, in which case SeaFoam may help.
