Hi Paul
"they tell me that the springs should be fitted with
the pipe off the cylinder head , and then lever the pipe in to place"
This approach is the only way I could get it on. But a very good
approach I found out. No gouge marks can be found.
If your is tighter then mine, a thin layer of Loctite Anti Seize may do
the trick.
