^ The counterweights matches the rotors. You cannot use one s5 housing and one s4 housing. (you can, but its not recommended due to spark timing change between the series.

Yep, what they said. As long as the counterweight matches the rotors then you can use the s4 housings.

the counterweight and the flywheel must be the same.

their weights are specific for each series.
