If the keepers popped off, you will need to 'fish' them out of the engine with a magnet. Also you could hand rotate the crank while it is apart and check for damage to the crank and rod.

Suggestion! I may be reading this wrong but if the valve is bent , I would suggest that you change the valve guide! Irish
