S4 vs S5 E-shaft pulley identification?

Hi everyone,

I bought an FC that had previously been somewhat shoddily rebuilt. Its an S4 chassis but had S5 housings that I replaced with S4 housings. I know the timing is slightly different between S4 and S5 due to spark plug location differences, but is there a way to verify whether my pulley is S4 or S5?

My theory is that the spark plugs are further apart on the S5, so the pulley marks would be slightly further apart too. Could someone take some calipers to a known S5 pulley and a known S4 pulley and compare?

Other than that, if anyone else had ways to tell the difference I would greatly appreciate it.

the physical location of the spark plug and the time they fire relative to TDC are unrelated
the marks on the S4 and S5 pulleys are the same.
