Default new pushrods?

I had tw555-6r cam kit put on my RKC, how can you tell if they changed the pushrods? Can you only change the insides of them? or do you change the outside and the inside? The kit I gave the dealer had new rods in it, (I saw the box but did not look in it). The outsides look like the old ones , because they have a little rust on them. Thanks

The outside tubes are pushrod covers.

Yes, depending on your pushrod, you don't always have to change the outside covers/tubes when you change the push rods. For instance, with the Fuel Moto adjustable push rods, it is possible to reuse your old pushrod covers/tubes. If you want to know for sure, take off the top part of your pushrod cover and inspect the push rods to see if they are the new ones.

Look at the pictures in this thread and you'll see how to remove the covers and be able to see your pushrods....
