Ouch. Seeing things like this is never enjoyable. Far as ideas and experiences go ... that type of break is not that uncommon really. Have seen this more times than I can remember.
May have missed it somewhere - perhaps another thread. Are these stock valves?
Stock valves are two piece. The head is force welded to the stem. Right about where that gave way. Which is why I have always been a big advocate for quality one piece valves. Especially in a performance build. Relying on stock units with countless cycles on them is asking for trouble.
