How can I tell the difference between one piece and 2 piece valves? Can I tell by the retainers, magnet?

Any stock multi-groove-retainer Cleveland valve- intake or exhaust- will be a suspect two-piece type. And as I said, the far-east people have found ways to weld stainless valve-heads onto stainless shafts, so magnets are no indicator. Go with a single-retainer-groove valve that is a name brand and says in plain english: "one piece ss valve".
There are people around who can break an anvil with a leather hammer, so such valves are not an absolute guarantee, but for most, they work fine.
