You could on a type s, but it would be pointless. The two motors are very much alike. Why dont you just get type r cams?

the only difference in the r head and s head is that the r is ported a little more.

I don't think that is correct for the DC5, you are 100% correct for the DC2 ITR and the B16 head. However, the R head and the S head are the same. check it--
