Its "ICCL" (I couldn't care less)

Do this for fun mate: Run a shaft at 5,000rpm with 'only' 0.1mm run-out, now put a few chains on it to create even more noise, and run it in this condition for let's say 10hrs. Come back to let us know how your bearing seal look like after that.

In fact if it last 2hrs I'd be surprised.

Said 5,000rpm. Not idle at 1,100rpm

Try!!!
