i think it's the 8th position on your vin # mine is a 6 and it's
a windor, if it's a "W" it's a romeo, my engine also has
windor on the driver side valve cover. anyone jump in if i'm
wrong.

The Romeo cam covers have 11 bolts, and the Windsors have 13.

Right !!

The 8th digit of your VIN is the engine code.

W=Romeo
6=Windsor

From what I read, it didn't make any difference and there was no price difference when building, so I added it. I'm sure I'll never use it.
