Strife, I agree with ctaylor, it SHOULD only sit slightly above 80. Our 560SL would never go above 90 in any temperature - but for some reason now it does.

Wheel Option for 6.3.

Is there a 16 inch steel wheel with the hubcap available for a 1970 300sel 6.3?
What size is the wheel from a 600 pullman? Would it fit the 300sel?

6.3 Headlamps

Where can I find a set of flat single headlamps to replace the (in my opinion) less attractive dual bulbs that come standard on the 6.3?
And what is a good price to pay for them?

Engine Rebuild on 6.3

Would you reccommend anyone over another.
Would an engine rebuild from Star Motors be any different from a rebuild at Metric Motors?...

Ok so if I get one of Star Motors 9:1 or 10:1 rebuilds, would I need to do anything else to the car to make sure I have the more "purer" cars as you put it - like the 1969 was, or would I be ok?
