Thanks Ed.  Those are the numbers I had assumed to be correct.  However, in one of the logs someone had noted a lower number.  I think it must have related to the engine when it was a 75.  This engine has a high end cruise prop on it and 2300 seems to be about a comfortable cruise setting for it.  It won't turn up to 2575 with this prop.  Roger

Roger,

 

When you convert your C-75 to a C-85, it IS a C-85.  You’ll follow all C-85 specs.

 

Teledyne Continental Motors C-75, C-85, C-90, O-200 Overhaul Manual page 12 says C-85

Normal Rated RPM . . . . . . . 2575

 

 

I remember seeing somewhere, somewhen, in some document, something that said maximum continuous cruise rpm should be 2400.  On the other hand, I had some experienced A&Ps tell me go ahead and run it, it’ll be happy.  I had a climb prop and could get to about 2575 in cruise though I rarely tried that.  I normally cruised at 2400 rpm.

What is the correct redline rpm and recommended cruising rpm for a C85 that was converted from a C75?

 

Thanks...Roger
