Jeff, first of all that sucks...I have also had that failure, probably from
the same batch of bad springs.
However, mine broke in the very middle, so the valve didn't actually drop
enough to hit anything. Perhaps you have this failure also, and no damage
to the valve or bottom end.
There is a procedure to R&R a valvespring in the car, using pressurized
air through the plug hole, and a lever-type valve spring compressor (if
that is even necessary...) to remove the old spring, while not completely
losing the valve. Then you install another spring using the lever, put the
camshaft back in and you're off!
Worth trying I think, if only just to get you to the show!
