Default New Injectors and new pump, how to tell

I just had a new injector pump and new injectors installed on my 2002 CTD, I looked under the hood and check around, but how can I tell if the work was done or not, because it sure does not look like it ??
It smoke a lttle more now , like they said it would with the bigger injector, and it seems to have a little more power ( they said 40 more rear wheel hp with the larger injectors) , but I see know signs of any wrench's on any of the lines, I will not be pulling my trailer untill next weekend so I won't know if my problem has been solved untill then,.
Thanks for any ideas on this '
Ralph

things are going to look exactly the same. all the changes are made internal.

now with no wrench marks, that to me would be what you are thinking, that no work was done. Or could tell you that the guy that did the work knows what he is doing, and uses the right tools that keep marring to a minimum.

Ive got a set of line wrenches that grab 5 sides of the nut. these are made to ensure you dont start to strip the nut. the only way to go when working on fuel lines

I looked at all the lines and even the brackets that hold them and , there did not appear to be any marks and any kind on any of it at all, I do appreciate you stating that the job for the most part would be internal, how ever I did expect to see some kind of marks from all the lines that they would have had to touch. Having said that I guess I will find out for sure when I hook up to one of my trailerand give it a work out.
These same guys just installed my FASS in the fall for me , and the truck is only used for pulling most time so, it probably only got another 500 - 600 miles on it since the fall, so no real dirt acumulated as yet probably then .
Thanks again for the response.
