A quick inspection tells me that all the failure wasn't catastrophic and all that there aren't any pieces completely displaced. The valve didn't drop, the locks, retainer and spring are all still in place. So I'm hoping this could be a relatively easy fix, just a new set of springs. But the conservative side of my brain is telling me to pull everything apart and make sure there isn't a bent valve, damaged valve seat or other ugliness hiding inside the chamber/cylinder. So the motor may come out just to be sure. I'll post some pics later in the engine section.....
