i drove my ss about 10-15 miles across town because i didnt want to pay to have it towed after a valve spring broke and never had any problems after new valves were installed. as long as the valve didnt drop you should be fine, otherwise you would see indentions in the top of the piston, a valve isnt strong enough to crack the crank but if the valve gets locked up in the lowered position it could really mess up the chamber
heres an example of dropped valve damage on a sr20det
