Retainers broke off!
I was replacing the timing belt this morning when I turned the car on the car was knocking pretty bad. So I took out half of the engine out... What do I see 8 retainers are broken off the metal piece that holds the retainers is broken, I decide to take it in to get fixed at a local shop, I came home I see the pistons have a few hits in them from the valves. Are the pistons fine to run like this?

The valves seem to be fine. I was just curious if the piston can work properly with few dings in them from the valves. My retainers also bent. FML can anything else go wrong here. Jesus.
Pistons have like two outlines in them. 4 of my retainers bent also. :[
