Wayne, my suggestion is to go to a lip seal. Offset the ends so the parting line of the seal-halves and the block/cap don't coincide. Fill the side-seal grooves with a modern 'toothpaste-tube-type goo'. (Thanks to Brother Lon for the nomenclature.) This combination is least likely to leak. Be sure to put the seals in such a way that they point 'in'. :)

Good luck.

No one runs rope seals anymore on an FE. When you purchase the seal buy the R.A.C.E Felpro set.
