4 days ago the engine seized while I was on the highway, today the car finally arrived at the shop, and when we started the engine it was shaking back and forth a lot, sounded like it was working with 2 pistons and there were loud bangs from inside. The oil dipstick barely touched any oil. So...

I was changing the valve springs when one of the retainers broke when i was compressing my spring and i cant seem to find a small piece of the retainer. I think it may have fallen down into one of the holes but i dont really know i cant see it anywhere. Anyway i was wondering if it would cause...
