Hi guys, here is a pic of a pair of sr 370cc injectors that were damaged when they were getting pulled out. My question is will they still work fine? I have heard that they might work fine as long as the metal part on the top is not damaged because all that got destroyed was the plastic circle on top. Please let me know if these are still usable or not:

Thanks, Alex

They look ok to me. I think just as long as the metal pin at the top isn't damaged, you'll be ok. Just look at it carefully to make sure there are no scuff's on the pin, or scratches to indicate that it was hit/squashed/tapped in any way to bend it when it was taken out.Otherwise, throw them in and see what happens.. just don't boost. Drive around and see if they are locked up.

Yep, they will work. Seen that happen quite a bit actually...LOL. I'd find a way to cover that damaged portion though, to avoid further damage once they are installed.
