Injector cap down combustion chamber

[Synned]

Here i am again guys...this time I think its pretty serious
I was pulling the lower today to take it to my buddies to have it helicoiled...
When I was pulling the injectors one didn't have the cap on it along with the o-ring. Great, pulled the oring out of the lower and cap is nowhere to be seen.
I DID make sure every one had a cap before I put them in there...doh
I'm guessing this cap was cracked or something...but anyway
IT FELL INTO THE CC!!! The cap didn't break off untill I pulled the injector out...I saw a small piece of it by the valve and I tried to pull it out with long skinny pliers and a vacuum but it fell in!!!
Guys...what does this mean?????

PLEASE tell me that it will be incinerated in the chamber and wont **** a valve seat or o-ring...

It will probably burn up and get spit out the exhaust without doing any damage.

The pintle caps hold the O ring in place and keep it from sliding off and into the manifold. If the correct pintle caps are used, they do not have any effect on the injector spray pattern.

Fuel injector seal kits with 2 O rings and a pintle cap (Borg-Warner P/N 274081) are available at Pep Boys auto parts. Cost is about $2.74 per kit.. The following are listed at the Borg-Warner site ( http://www.borg-warner.com ) as being resellers of Borg-Warner parts:

Most of the links above have store locators for find a store in your area.

Use motor oil on the O rings when you re-assemble them & everything will slide into place. The gasoline will wash away any excess oil that gets in the wrong places and it will burn up in the combustion chamber.

The pintle caps fit either injectors with a pin sticking out the injector end or 4 with more tiny holes in the injector end

next time try pulling the spark plug and blasting air into the spark plug hole.

^^ yep

but if you decide to just fire it up put a pair of socks over the tail pipes and catch the pieces that come out so that way you know every thing came out
