Pick it up and let it go. Har har. But seriously, a dropped valve has been described to me as a seat being worn until it doesn't seal correctly, a valve sticking open slightly, or the keepers/retainers **** the bed and the valve literally falls into the cylinder.

 

if a valve spring breaks you will "drop" a valve...meaning it will drop into the cylinder and cause all sorts of carnage

 

hahaa...too many variables

 

Wide open throttle shift from third to second usually does the trick.

seriously. I want to find a trans that will let you into first gear going that fast, lol. Prelude transmissions hate it enough at 15mph.

No kidding

It is very rare that you break a valvespring in a honda engine under normal rpm ranges, though I remember seeing it happen once.
