Reply to "Dropped a valve..."

Thanks Hustler, but over here in the underdeveloped Europe, I'm not sure where to find that.

I collected the head, the guy hadn't fixed that cylinder as agreed, he fixed the whole head, $$$. But it looks good. I've assembled the 6 valves I have.

Let me just summarize the ideas all you good people and some locals have for what went wrong:
-inferior valve quality
-inferior rocker quality
-too hard springs
-wrong adjustment of rocker
-wrong locks
-locks installed incorrectly
-rpm+++
-too steep cam profile
-faulty lifter
-oil passage to lifter clogged
-unspecified MME assembly or design flaw
-valve bounce
-rockers alu, should be steel
-any combination of the above

I've got some thinking to do...
