this isn't a DIY thing if you don't know what your doing. you will just have a torn down s500. However you mark the cams/crank/distributor with a sharpie before tearing down. Make sure it's exact, otherwise you'll have a huge headache. I know theres a writeup on marking cams in the w126 section, different motor but same concept.

I'd still advise to not do it.
