Just got my 2 boys neutered last wed. How long should I wait untill I introduce them to my female? I want to be sure they are totally healed first. Quarintine and fecal tests are done.

I would think that things would be ok to go ahead and start your intro's. I have put my neutered males back in with their families immediately after we got home from the vets office with no issues.

If you would feel more comfortable you could just try supervised playtime first for a few days and see how that goes.

I thought it took about a month after a neuter to make sure the males pipes are all clear of baby making juice????

I think the neuter site would be fine but if they can still make babies I would think that would be about the only reason to keep them apart.

This is an old misunderstanding that is still passed around by a few people today.

In a properly done neuter, there is no reason other than neuter site healing to keep gliders separated.
Here is a thread with much more information to explain the hows and whys:
