Is it okay to buy fuel injectors that have slight damage to the pintle caps?

An org member is selling me 6 working injectors but 2 have slight damage to the pintle caps but still work and were tested at 11-14 ohms resistance. Do you think these are okay to use?

you can replace the pintle caps but it can be a pain to find them.

I bought a set of 550cc injectors off RX7 for my Talon a couple of years back. One of the caps was ripped on one of them. I took it a local shop to flow test and so he could replace that cracked cap. When I came to pick them up, they realized that they cleaned them by mistake. I ended up getting a hell of a deal, a full cleaning for the price of flow testing. The set of clean, as new 550 cc's for $84 total.
