It should be ok, but I wouldn't drive it without having the oil
changed.  Even then, I would change the oil again after a few hundred
miles.  Having gas fill the cylinder means some of it got into the
crankcase filling the motor with a solvent instead of a
lubricant.  Remember, oil is cheap, engines are expensive.

when in doubt, replace.  You may get away with a rebuilt or repaired
injector, but why risk it?
