Flamethrower Injector kit pintle cap question

I appreciate any replies. I don't have photo before I installed injectors --- I don't have job done yet, rain etc. Do the injectors as pictured on ebay have the pintle cap installed?? Grey top ones. I should have asked this question before installing. Compared to photos of injectors online, and the Denso ones I pulled out, it looks to me like there is no pintle cap on flamethrower injectors? Are the caps for end pointing into piston only. Confused newbie....

I'm seeing photos of Flamethrower injectors with a black dome type cap on end that goes into fuel rail?? Do I need those caps? I greased 2 O rings per instructions, and put that directly into fuel rail.

The flame throwers come with every thing you need to install them. You reuse the lower injector cup that rests in the intake manifold. I replaced the little O rings on the cups with some from Toyota when I did mine.

Thanks. Based on some forum photos it seemed they may have forgot to include "black pintle caps" in my kit. They mention pintle caps in ebay listing. As far as I can tell I installed injectors with no pintle caps. Proper O rings, grommets, but no "caps".

I may as well throw this question out. I Torqued rails to spec (12 foot pounds), but I could not by hand rotate injectors as it states in FSM. I did not try my hardest, but they are tighter in rail than FSM would suggest. Any thoughts on if this matters??
