Took it apart this morning and figured I'd share another pic. It's pretty cool. Stinks (better words not allowed here) but cool.

Ehhhh they are just parts.. Granted very expensive parts, but still just parts. Things could be tons worse.

That is a one of a kind broken part To bad it happened, have you figure out why the valve broke?
My only guess is valve float, or the valve stem hungup for a milisecond. The valve stem is burnished a bit, but I don't know if that is from after it broke, or, before it broke. There is also a mark in the piston/valve relief that the valve hit, but I don't know if the valve hit the piston before it broke, or if the valve made that mark in the piston after it broke. So at this point it's just a guess with what happened.
