Removed mine today, drivers side only, but the RR's do not have numbers on them.

Without removing them from the head, the best measurement I can get is 36mm from the centre of trunion to centre of pin of roller & 22 or 23mm from centre of trunion to centre of pushrod cup. 36 divided by 23 = 1.56 OR 36 / 22 = 1.63.

So they are 1.6 ratio or 1.65 at best in my car.

They are twin shaft RR's but don't look like the ones in the photographs on the YT site. Mine are not adjustable over the pushrod and you cannot see the roller looking down from above. There is a small hole in the body of the rocker arm to allow oil to drip thru onto the roller.

The YT site lists only one twin shaft for windsor - YT6314 1.65 ratio.

What I found that was odd is that none of the rockers were loose @ TDC. Not even 1 thou. Engine was dead cold. Adjustment for these must be shims under the pedastal but I could not see any shims on any of them.

How about one of you Melb guys contact YT and get the facts from the horses mouth. I suspect the RR's in T3's are not what they make now or were a special batch. Would also like to get confirmation on how there adjusted and why no freeplay

Hi Shayne. I'm pretty sure that you won't have any clearance there because of the hydraulic lifters. What you would find is that you would be able to spin the push rod though after you stopped turning the engine over. But wouldn't be able to spin the push rod when it had load on it whilst the engine being turned over.

Yeah, i thought they would have bleed down a bit because the engine hasn't been started for 4/5 days. Never thought to give the pushrods a turn.

I just cranked it fractionally a few times without starting it looking for a loose rocker but as it turned out i would have had to remove two because o fthe twin shaft setup and I didn't have the right tool to do the job any way
