Maybe because I don't know where it's located...

But wouldn't 420 cams already be more agressive than 500 ones, regardless of euro or not?


I figure since the Euro 500 is a larger motor with more power, the cams have to be larger than the US 420 ones... Now I figure US 420 cams are larger than US 500.

Documents I found show that all these motors will swap cams:
M116.964/965 und M117.961/963/964/965
