Dropped a valve on garage floor

[Darcon]

Got an embarrassing one while pulling the intake valves out of my 1j head I accidentally dropped one of them from waist height on to the concrete floor. Felt like a total tard, but thankfully no visible damage at all.

However my paronia side has got me worried that maybe there's damage that's not easily visible, does anyone know how easily the intake valves are damaged should, i be worried at all and consider replacing it? Or do they take that much of a beating in the engine that a little drop is of no concern?

Thanks in advance

Put it in a drill chuck and spin it up to see if it's still straight..

The head and valves are going to the machinist to get cleaned, decked and valve job done, so I'm 99% sure it will be okay. Just that stupid paranoia setting in that there will be an internal fracture or something that wont reveal its self until the motor first starts lol

Just take it to the shop and ask them if it's straight. You are going to a machine shop after all right? They always mess with bent valves

No worries will do, thanks for the responses. Definitely a different sort of dropped valve of course it was the last one too lol
