Steamship, I got all excited and didn't twig about the Internet Archive as I've always known it as the Wayback Machine. Still, useful info to include in the post for future searches. Let's hope Architex-mA8tey can find that elusive PDF with photos.
I'll admit to having a vested interest here due to my recent cam cover gaskets problem. These are now sorted at the second attempt and whilst the vanity covers were off the engine, I took a look at those bellows and noted that the top one on mine seemed to have some kind of repair effected on it (it looks like someone has had a go at this before and smeared some black silicone sealant on the outside casing).
My bellows seem to be inflated all the time but when the engine is running, they suck in gently but only by a few millimetres. I can pinch one of the attached rubber hoses to see the slight movement. It's definitely not working as intended so I'd like to attempt this repair.
