    I installed some SKF on one oldy few years ago…..  before installing I coated the exposed portion facing outward  with 2-3 coats of  latex  glue which  when dry  gave it a  good waterproof   rubbery  surface to face the elements (water)

    Did this as a trial  and pretty confident the non stainless  steel  will last much longer .   I presume  the same  “minimum protection”  could be obtained  with  any product  like epoxy to coat the outside surface of the seal  after the seal is installed.   The inside surfaces will soak in oil so no worries on that side of the seal  🙂

    I can’t vouch  for longetivity because I sold the engine.
