This is what it should look like. And yes the tubes and covers all came as a complete set.

No where even close to what I have a you can see by my picture in the first post.

It's obvious you may need to get something different.
Where did the set you have come from?

I recently did a cam and kit upgrade.
New cam, lifters, cuff and pushrods but kept the original tubes.
Upon installation, I could not slide the pushrod over the top of the cuff. I had to loosen the cuff, slip the pushrods onto the lifters, then reinstall the cuffs. The stock tubes were fine and already chrome.
I also rolled the o-ring over the tube and then rolled down once pushrods adjusted.

Good Luck,

I just realised that I have accidently used one of my oem PR covers instead of the shorter S&S ones.... Somehow got them mixed up. Must've had too many beers on the job
now I have to try and get the sucker out and start again....

At least you found something you point a finger at and say opps.
Beers Yup had to back up a couple times also. I'm not telling
