What color is the engine?
All heads are compatible except in 2004+ they dropped the tachometer gear and went electronic. You can put on an electronic tach if you can't find a 1989-2002 head.
So year doesn't matter except for the tachometer and color.

There was a thread... um, couple years ago now I think. Quite a few of us listed our engine numbers and year as a kind of rough reference. Cannot find it now 

Anyway. For reference. My 09 has an engine number of M504-153619.

If some others with older than 09 can put up their engine numbers we should be able to get close to your number.

Looks like your engine has been replaced, as GS500s before '01 had M501 engines. To determine whether it is '04+, look at the front near the top. If a cable is attached, it is a mechanical tach, and pre-2004.
