I asked this because of the adjacent valve in the photo- the non-concentricity of the retainer with the O.D. of the top of the spring is visible. So the retainer's shoulder must not be a snug fit in the spring I.D. This, in combination with the skimpy retainer O.D. and cross section in that area (considering the extreme loading), would cause me to suspect retainer failure.
