Default Need injector advice asap!

How's it going guys.
So I recently discovered my number 2 injector o ring was shot and leaking fuel..... so today I went to replace the seals (bought the seal kits from napa).... and things took a turn for the worst....everything was going good when I pulled out the last injector and inadvertently smacked it on the intake manifold. .... -_-..... which cracked the little orange part at the bottom, like this:


So I'm no rocket scientist but I'm pretty sure it would not be ok to put back in cracked like that lol...
I know i need to replace all the injectors now to keep them even, so I just wasted money on the seals being that I can't return them now that they're open.....
My question is though what replacement injectors should I buy?
Are the autozone brand ones ok or do I need to stick with oem?
I also found this?
Set of 4 Fuel Injectors 88 89 90 91 Honda Civic CRX Vin D16A6 16V SOHC | eBay

To sketchy??
Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance.

Yeah, why are you worried about replacing all of the injectors now?

That's just the pintle cap anyway, your actual injector is still fine. The pintle caps are usually easily replaceable on many injectors, not sure about Honda caps as I've never had to mess with them on my Civic.

If I were you, I would just remove them from all of your injectors and call it a day.

I've ran injectors with chunks of the pintle cap gone aside from being cracked. If you're set on new injectors though, check this link.

Just go to the junkyard and grab an injector.

Serviced OEM Honda injectors are better than brand new aftermarket. And you definitely don't want to upsize until you're going forced induction with tuning.
