Yes, as to the tool steel retainers. Also just to add many Edelbrock BBC heads are equipped with 11/32 stem valves ... just sayin ... And I think I have a set of Dart Pro 1 heads that came with 11/32 as I recall

Brian, FYI...

I ran Manley Severe Duty 11/32" stem valves, 2.25/1.88 in my cast iron oval port heads atop my roller cammed 700+HP 468 BBC bracket engine for many years and thousands of passes turning 7400rpm in the lights. Those valves were actuated with Manley polished Nextek springs # 221443P 235 closed/610 open. Never broke a valve, valve spring, rocker arm, rocker stud, etc.

Further, the valves in my Brodix 3 xtra heads atop my 522 are 11/\32" stem as are the valves in my Brodix HH heads atop my 600" engine.
