Camshaft 500sel replacement
The right camshaft of my 500sel (1985) needs to be replaced. Can I replace it with any MB camshaft? I have 2 camshafts le & re. from a 1972 4.5l engine. Do they fit? Can camshafts be reground? The engine has 215k miles but is running fine except the ticking noise
 that has recently developed.Any suggestions? tks Karl

I'm pretty sure because the one cam I can see thru the oil filler hole has deep groves. On Sat I'll take off the cover to check the entire camshaft. Maybe I'm lucky and it's only a bad rocker.
