Oh crapppppp, I didn't check for the spring, guess I will be taking it apart one more time and checking for the spring. no all that came off was the screw with the slot and the threaded rod, they were both together, lying on bottom of the head. I am going out now to pull valve cover gasket and check it out. I will do thorough search and comparison to others exhaust valves, making sure all components are there. I will check back here to see if you have responded before I put it back together.
hey jerry I have valve cover off and see nothing out of the ordinary. I did a compression check on all cyl's wot and they are all reading 190 so I think there was no damage done. I found problem with the brakes too, on the side that was rubbing, ididnt have the bottom of the brake in the keeper, duh, of course it is going to rub. I think i am going to put it back together and maybe take it for a spin.
