Hi Richard,

You read Bentley the same way I did when I went to do this. But a close reading of 15.25 shows that they're talking about the telescoping tubes without using the word ("Pushrod tubes -->supplied as replacement parts<-- can be installed with engine [should read head...] in place."), and the drawing confirms it, no bellows on the end (but no sight of the obvious telescoping part). I was lucky enough to get this sorted out without getting my hands dirty but it took some head scratching.

Yrs, d
