When restarted those particles end up at the inj.

Iin an attempt to avoid this I've suggested more recently that once the DV's are back together a few ounces of fuel be pumped out before the hard lines are reconnected to the inj's.
YES. Open the hard lines at the injectors and crank the engine until you are getting good spurts of fuel out of the line; cleans out the lines and bleeds the air out at the same time.
