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,
