It's a good question - as I've seen both where they are totally fine, and others that are majorly chewed up. Unfortunately, I didn't pull the springs off the heads, as they weren't going back on the car, and we sent them on down to the machine shop to be used as cores for our porting program. In hindsight, I wish I had snatched off a couple springs to check them for pressure, and look at the retainers. I had tool-steel (gasp!!!!) retainers anyways, so I'll bet they were just fine.
