Looking at the pics, I wonder if his lack of success with the viton seal was caused by the oil grooved on the crank. The grooves are needed to keep the rope seal lubricated, but you do not want them there with an elastomer lip seal, so they need to be polished...
Still, the graphite rope seal looks like a good option!
