While I love the old skool patina, that shade of colour is awesome...........

i'm calling My gemini patina "survivor car patina" aka survived a p plater owning it and ruining it with some weird colour etc

Depends on the seal, as to how you go about it. If the donk is on the stand, loosen all the main caps. There are 3 types of seal. The factory 2 piece 'rope' seal, this will need a pin in the main cap to stop it spinning. The aftermarket 2 piece rubber jobby, Install with 10mm sticking out on one side, opposite on the cap, so the joins don't line up. The one piece oil seal (like a timing cover seal) but requires block machining. Rope seal must be squeezed in to the block groove, usually I use a big ass socket like a rolling pin. Can't see you doing that without removing the crank. "May" be able to slide the oil seal in.
