Rubber tubes in the barrell and head

G'day
I am replacing the rubber tubes that go in the cylinder and cylinder head
The instructions are all in German
Basically I wet the tubes and then insert and trim

I have copied the German text (to the best of my ability)
Fur jede bohrungseinheit wird ein geschlitztes und ein geschlossenes rohrchen verwendet. zunachst sollten die rohrchen mit einer Wasser Spulmittelmischung befeuchtet werden. nun wird das geschlitzte Rohrchen in die bohrungen eingefuhrt, und danach das geschlossene. Den sich ergebenden schlitz wie Beim original vorher zum zylinder drehen, damit er von auben nicht sichtbar ist. Benotigt wied eventuell nu rein Gummihammer.
Gegebenen Falls sollten die Enden noch gleichmabig ca.5mm vor der Kuhlrippe oben und unten abgeschnitten warden

Am I correct?
Thanks in advance
Dave

That looks like it... wet them, make sure the slot is at the back and tap with a rubber mallet , then if needed trim to leave 5mm extra

How wet do they have to get?
Can you wet them in place?
How fast do you need to be installing them?
The head I think I will wet them in the head then fit head to bike.
The cylinder in on the engine and the engine is in the frame
