Injector o-rings are cheap and should be replaced anytime you are changing injectors, rebuilding injectors, or cleaning injectors. Its like $8/set.
Just sharing my experience and said take it fwiw... I don't claim to know a lot that's for sure! I just figured if it didn't work i'd buy new ones. I was afraid of hooking electric up to em and then using flammable liquids...

In the end it worked for me, and it's been running strong for 6 months!

The worse thing that can happen if you boil them would be you find the bad ones. They are water proof otherwise every time they got wet and the engine was up to temp (almost boiling) you'd have a problem.
