How Many Valves Do I Have?

[Toot The Shoot]

Could someone tell me please, how many valves per cylinder my 1991 500SEL has?

Thanks in advance.

16 valves I believe... 2 per cylinder...

I thought the old skool Merc V8's had four per cylinder (2 in, 2 out) so wouldn't that be a 32 valve engine?

A 119 engine does.
