    6360 isn't too shabby considering I used to rip the old 116.962 in the SLC to 8krpm regularly
    rpm cutout on the 560SL and the AMG is 6500, which really limits the fun.... kinda. I reckon I belt the 3.9 to at least 6K pretty regularly.
    Part of the secret is making sure you're sympathetic to the cause. I've never had an engine failure from high rpm.

    I reckon you have about another 4-500 in it... depending on the flywheel mass.....

    I must say though, this has been a great example to others and the thread is a really interesting account of a thoroughly comprehensive project.
    Not only that but you undertook an interstate move while it was all going on. That's no mean feat... (as I know from experience)

    Believe it or not, the completion of the '77 happens to coincide with a relocation decision 'back home' - 2700km north... That's move #7 in 20 years for me (and will be the last).
    As they say, planning is everything and moving 5 Mercedes, the RRC, a boat as well as a house full of furniture and a workshop full of tools and parts, plus a storage facility with more restored parts is going to be a testing exercise.
    God help me... First removalist comes to quote tomorrow lunchtime...

    Congratulations to you for an incredibly successful, well executed outcome.

    Have you got UV globes in that binnacle so you get a tan at night?

    Mods: Please sticky this thread. It's possibly the most thoroughly comprehensive and detailed accounts of any RRC rebuild thread out there.
