How to tell Windsor or Romeo?

[TheSalad]

All right, So I think I am pretty dumb. I did a headswap about three years ago, but I cant remember the year of the heads I put on. I dont even remember if the cams were press-on or bolted. Is there anyway I can find out what I have without tearing the motor apart?
Does the side of the oil filler have anything to do with it?
What else can I look for to find out?

Please help!

Thanks

I believe the quick way to tell is the # of bolts on valve covers. 11 is romeo, 13 is windsor

Windsor has what cams? What were the years of the windsor motor?

Believe '99 and '00 have different heads / valve covers then 96-98 and 2001+.. heard that there may be a few early 2001's with the 13 bolt pattern, but thats unconfirmed.

Look at the VIN number if it has an X in it then it's Winsor and Y is for Romeo It could be other way around can't remember for sure but svttech i am sure would know.

He did a headswap so his heads may not necessarily coincide with the vin #....or am i wrong? no clue really haha

The Romeo block was used from 2/01 til '04.. Windsor was '96-2/01.

Romeo used bolt-on cam gears, whereas Windsor used pressed-on cam gears.

Thanks Jason, that was the information I was looking for, whether it had press-on or bolt-on gears, for future cam swap options. Thanks!
