So they could only be immortal if they stayed in the temple? So if Donovan wanted to rule the world or whatever he would have to do it from within the temple? sounds a bit rubbish.
Listen, the grail did not cross the seal. It fell in the earth gap before the seal. And since Indy did not still pass the seal himself there is no reason why he wouldn't still be immortal if he fell in the gap.
Do not just arogantly respond, think about it.

He has a point, If the water healed a fatal wound in Jones Sr., than they could possibly write that when drank from it healed whatever maybe wrong with you, makeing you a "new man" ie, healing any cancers, livers, etc. . .thus extending life . . . just a thought
They didn't know what magical power to assign the grail at first, so they borrowed from the Monkey King script: a peach brings Indy back from the dead in the garden, and Kezure disintegates when he eats a peach outside the garden (because he's evil).
It's possible that Henry and Indy were cured of every existing and potential ailment, down to the genetic level... who knows? (In the Mad parody, Henry turned into a young 007.)
Why are the knights so old? I think there's something in the novelization stating every year you age a day. So much for immortality. If he was truly immortal, why the sword and chain mail? Maybe he ventures beyond the seal for water or maintenance or curiosity, aging only then. I wonder if he'd mind a little company (assuming his oath permits it) if Elsa survived the fall. He wouldn't have to wait 60 years for a cure for erectile dysfunction.

It was more like "aging every day you don't drink from the grail" which means that one sip from the cup doesn't make anyone immortal, but more like stops aging for a short while. And yes, the knight can indeed be killed. He just won't die of old age as long as he keeps drinking from the cup.
basicly to be immortal you had to stay behind the seal. once you cross it, thats it, you start aging again.
We have no evidence why the night aged, we assume because he ventured out past the seal every once in a while.
also, because we saw jones snr's wound get healed, we assume drinking from the cup would have healed the jones boys of any other illnesses that they might have had. thus extending their life, e.g if they had ass cancer and didnt know it, it would have been cured.
So, to answer the question asked, NO they arnt immortal.
Henry still carries the bullet, right? Even if it's disrupting a major organ or artery? If the bullet dissolved, I suppose fillings would have dissolved too. And cavities.
Imagine the missing scene of the TLC
Just before Indy dips the cup into the water Brody comes in runing. "Sorry Indy, but my hemoroids are killing me" He pushes Indy away and sit's into the bowl "psssssssss, ahhhhhhhhhhh". Indy - "Well, I aint drinking from there, now"
