I'm not sure on the redline but I know they reach peak horsepower at 4,000 rpm (a whopping 59hp) so I wouldn't wind them up much past 4k.

The Perkins issued data for Vehicle Applications - 66-BHP @ 4250-RPM and 101-Torque @ 2200 RPM. For Industrial Applications - 64-BHP @ 4000-RPM and 101-Torque @ 2200-RPM. I thought I had the redline info somewhere, but can't find it right now. I'd say you should limit the max RPM to 4250. The injection pump SHOULD limit the RPM, but don't rely on it completely. The beauty of these engines is their low speed and flat torque curve. They are not designed like the newer and lighter free reving diesel engines. The S2 engines (and family) are industrial duty. If you want a long life, keep the RPM low. If you want something fast - get a different engine.
