Gunny,
We should help you diagnose the failure mode. Valves just don't break. It was caused by something.
Send us some close up pictures of the failed parts. There are ways to inspect and determine what caused the failure. You wouldn't want to put it all back together and fail another valve in another cylinder a few hundred miles down the road.
