SpaceX is retrieving boosters and reusing them, pretty clear how they do that. But how will main engines be reusable? How will they retrieve them?

I think you mean how **do** reusable rocket engines work.

As I understand it, SpaceX has over-engineered the hard to get to parts of the engines so they don’t need to be fully refurbished after every trip.

After a first stage has returned to earth it’s tested and if no issues are found is made ready for its next mission.
