What lifters, they could be an issue also.

If I had to guess by the looks of the piston it appears that valve floated and got broke off when it touched the piston. If there isn't a broke spring, I'm sort of at a loss. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it, but if a valve were to float wouldn't it be the intake valve? I would assume it is heavier, it has a shorter duration therefore it is opening quicker, and has boost pressure helping it open.
Yes but the intake valve closes at the bottom of the stroke. The exhaust valve closes right up top. Intake valve float will not result in a valve hitting a piston where an exhaust valve floating will... And there is VERY little room for error there.
