Replacing injector o-rings

Quick question for the diesel guru's. My 97 PSD is almost at 100K miles. Should I make a pre-emptive strike and replace the injector o-rings now or wait and cross my fingers for a while? I am having no problems with the injectors at this time, but I'm sure they are the original o-rings.

Big thanks!

That's a fairly big job to be doing just for the fun of it.

Yea, 100k for a '97 isn't doing too bad. You should be able to run quite a bit longer before you have trouble, if you have any trouble at all. I've got a '99 with 143k and get a little smoke on cold mornings, but not enough for me to change them out yet.

If it's not broke, don't fix it!
