First timer.... just installed valve springs and noticed that I have gaps in the valve spring keepers (collets). Is this normal/acceptable?

The gaps normal. Not a problem.

Be sure that you have matching valves and keepers:

Are these interference engines? I just found an exhaust valve inside my rt. Cylinder. Stem still in the head. Snapped off at the base of the stem.
