Default SEARCHING FOR VALVE SPRING RETAINER LOCKS (valve keepers)

While doing a valve job on my 96 Ram 1500 5.9l magnum I lost one of the "valve keepers". I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. I believe they are the 7 degree angle in 11/32 size. whatever the stock OEM calls for. I dont want to have to purchase a lot of 1000 of these things. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to find replacement valve keepers? Thanks!!!!

Maybe it's worth a trip to the junkyard?

Parts store should be able to get them, or anyone that sells cams, and valve train gear. (Summit, Jegs, etc.)
