Retainers are very important, and disaster could happen if one of them failed. If you're opening up your head and doing some work just change the retainers too, they're not that much money.

Some guy on the board blew his motor a few months ago when a stock retainer broke on his H22. It dropped a valve and ruined his motor and turbo.

I'd get retainers if I were you
