billman,
wouldn't you suspect further damage...than just the retainers?
such as valves, valve guides?

so are 2.2L retainers the best if someone was say going with a head rebuild? or are there better aftermarket retainers... like Titanium for instance?

It goes case by case.

there might not be further damage at the moment...
BUT, my valve face warpage and valve guide warpage was VERY VERY gradual...and was only detectable my comp/leak test 2 years down the road.
my over-rev did NOT even have any cracked retainers although I replaced them all immediately...
something to think about?

This is not my first time around the block with this issue. You think I do this with my eyes closed?
