Thumbs down dropped a valve already

well one of the retainers broke tonight....bent the valve.....
pulling the engine tomarrow morning......my engine guy came over and took a look and said the retainer thet came with the canfield heads were junk............the keeper came right thru it...
he says he will put titanium retainers in all of them ,,,do what ever he has to to make it right....thats cool .......
sucks to have to pull it out all ready.....

could just pull the heads,,,but its a pain..working over the truck
plus he should do all the work.......
