Look good, however the one in the third pic on the right is iffy. I'd pull that one and check it out real close with a magnifying glass.

Ok thanks Billman. Is it common for only one retainer to crack? I am the third owner of this car and have no idea how it was treated before I got it. I have the AP2 retainers so if I pull any retainers to look at them probably just change them out and be done with it.

Might as well, just for peace of mind, because if one looks suspect you won't really know if they're bad for another couple hundred miles.

Just got done replacing retainers. Definitely glad I did it found a couple with hairline cracks in them. I will try to post updated picks of them later. Real good feeling knowing that they are done and I don't have to even think about them being a problem. Would really suck to lose a motor over not taking a couple of hours to take care of a known problem.
