If that's the case,if a keeper has jumped and the spring is up,then it's easier to just go ahead and pull the head and remove the valves to check for possible damaged,bent or worn valves. Plus with it off a good reason to just go ahead and do a valve grinding or lapping in valves along with new valve guide seals.

Is the arm against the valve stem or is the keeper not holding and the spring is coming up past the keeper? Rotate in down off of top dead center and stuff some nylon rope in the plug hole. Then rotate it until it's tight against the valves. You can then take the arm and spring off without the valve falling down into the engine and check them.
