quick question about replacing injectors

[Tbolt]

I just pulled my injectors out and im curious if its ok to leave them out for a while. Like will shit get into my engine with them out, I plan on having a set cleaned but wont put them back for a couple days or so.

well unless you're worried about critters getting in there, it should be fine.

It wouldn't hurt to stuff a bit of clean paper towel or rag into each injector port. Ift won't hurt anything for the ports to be open, but if you do any work while the injectors are out you don't want anything to fall into a port.

+1, It would be best to stuff a shop towel in each of the ports to prevent foreign objects from getting inside of you intake manifold and subsequently then into your combustion chamber. Bad juju!
