Dave,

No

Longer response for those interested.
I my personal experience with O-rings, if it is in a non-moving joint, it will be great as long as it is left alone and nothing serious changes. From the color (I have not seen and will not until this afternoon) they appear to be a silicone rubber and if they are, they will have an installed life of upwards of thirty years. If they are nitrile or Buna-n they may go brittle in twenty or so. No elastomers have an unlimited life.

Matt
