i was putting on my valve covers, and pulled my fuel injector out a little so i could wrench it. i noticed that the little plastic piece at the end of the injector was broken and a broken piece went into the injector hole..

is this going to cause problems? id rather not take my heads off seeing as how their all sealed up and everything..

:eek::eek::eek:
 
That part is called a pintle cap....

How big was the piece.....

I've pulled injectors where the entire pintle cap was gone....:confused:

It might crunch it up into pieces and pass them but to be on the safe side, I would pull that cylinder's spark plug and turn the motor over, in the hopes of blowing it{or the pieces} out of the cylinder.
OH..BTW...find an old injector and put that cap back on or replace the injector.
