eww, rotary aviation/mcmaster carr coolant seals... i only use those on race motors that expect to be torn down in no more than 2 years because they just don't last much longer than that. they are nice because they are reusable though but the teflon capsule starts to break down in about that time period of daily use.

what happened to the iron?
