Rocker-arms. They're weak-point of these engines when improper valve-adjustment and/or locknut torque is used.

Pieces would fall into oil-pan and stay there, so not likely to harm anything. Should still pull off oil-pan to inspect while replacing head. Might not be worth trouble of measuring remaining rocker-arms, cams, valve-stems and valve-guides to determine how many of them to replace.
