they should be fine. just clean them up with some gasoline or acetone, take that rubber bung off the shoulder of the injector to clean em.

yeah u can remove the pintle caps, they are just for protection from dropping them.

as long as the tip of the injector itself isnt damaged you should be good. wire wheel works well to clean them up. i make old injectors look brand new with mine.
