318 Magnum Dropped Valve
I would replace every valve/retainer/keeper. I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you got lucky it came apart at idle and not 5000 rpm. I have a better valve than I probably need for what I’m doing (Ferrea), but it has been my limited experience they tend to stay in one piece and bend rather than break. Something that came true after using them.
