The bushings in the picture were done by MME. Mark makes his own bushings, he doesn't use Denny's kit. Mark must have had a reason for wanting the bushings hanging out of the lifter bores, but I can't say why he did it. He probably manufactured longer than normal bushings that would allow him to do that.
You should follow the instructions provided by Denny Wydendorf.
