 Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think 'bedded in silastic' means lining the sides and bottom of the recess, into which the bearing fits, with a very generous amount of oil-resistant silicone sealer to form a leak-proof seal.  I suspect that it would be necessary to read the technical data sheets for all the likely sealers to select the one which would work best here.
