Well on today my valve spring broke wen i was at the grocery store.. it started making tapping noise.. As i was driving it it was misfiring. When i got home i took the valve covers of and i see it was a broken spring. i remove the rocker arm, i still see a little bit of the valve stem sticking out... does that mean the valve didnt drop in the engine??
 
OK Imo with out seeing it the valve it self stayed up due to compression in the piston.. in this case don't start it and have it towed to a shop if you can... If you plan on replace it your self have a machine shop do both heads... Its really depends on your $ flow and mileage...

good luck.
