The retainer is the the thing that keeps the valve spring compressed and blocked to the valve itself.

Wolf gave you one item, although retainer could be MANY things on the car. Do you have a specific examply that you're thinking of?

i believe it does the same as a grommet.
it's used to screw something through it and acts like a clamp or bolt to tighten the other side of whatever it is you're screwing through. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
