VEGE Remanufactured 258 2.7L 162ci Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Fleet operators facing severe engine oil burning install the VEGE Remanufactured 258 Car Truck Long Block Engine for dependable commercial fleet renewal. This 2.7L 162ci inline-4 car truck long block replacement outputs 135HP across a tall-deck four-cylinder block. Tall cylinder block deck height requires checking hood structure clearance prior to final engine mount torquing.

Heavy-ribbed ASTM gray iron casting gives the VEGE 258 long block assembly superior rigidity under continuous highway hauling loads. The 5-main-bearing bottom end stabilizes a balanced nodular iron crankshaft. Designed for 12V electrical systems, starter draw measures 165A during cold cranking tests. Net dry weight lands at 345 lbs within a base envelope of 26in length by 23in width and 28in height. Oil pan capacity holds 5 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured 258

Commercial fleet mechanics buy VEGE Remanufactured 258 engines to execute an efficient commercial long block repower on light route delivery trucks and commercial vans. This VEGE remanufactured long block provides direct replacement fitment for 2.7L four-cylinder commercial vehicle chassis.

• Five oversized main bearings absorb crankshaft torsional stress under continuous highway freight pulling.
• Hypereutectic pistons feature precision ground skirts for tight 0.0015in cylinder wall clearance.
• Hardened exhaust valve seats withstand high combustion temperatures during sustained highway grade climbs.
• Dual overhead camshafts optimize air-fuel volumetric efficiency across variable driving speeds.
• Heavy duty hydraulic timing chain tensioners prevent chain whip and maintain valve timing accuracy.
• High capacity oil pump supplies 50 PSI continuous pressure to main bearings and camshaft journals.
• Precision machined rear flange mates this 258 commercial core to original automatic or manual gearboxes.

Dyno Certified Thermal Diagnostics

Brake dynamometer trials establish this 258 long block engine produces 135HP at 4,800 RPM alongside 165 ft-lbs torque output at 2,800 RPM on standard commercial fuels. Oil pressure holds 48 PSI at operating temperature while coolant flow keeps operating temperatures at 182°F. Exhaust pyrometers register 1,180°F during full load step tests. Compression measurements verify 155 PSI across all 4 cylinders within 3% variance. Crankshaft journal runout checks below 0.0003in TIR, while endplay verifies at 0.005in.

Field Service Installation Bounds

Throttle cable pull mechanisms require 5 lbs force for smooth accelerator pedal action. Do not install this 2.7L four-cylinder long block engine in passenger chassis requiring transverse drivetrain orientation or vehicles lacking 30in vertical bay clearance. Fleet maintenance teams must check transmission torque converter pilot engagement depth before torquing bellhousing bolts to this 258 engine block.

• Change 10W-30 synthetic blend oil and filter every 250 operating hours or 3,500 miles.
• Inspect timing chain cover seal and front crankshaft damper every 500 operating hours.
• Torque intake and exhaust manifold bolts to 28 ft-lbs every 600 run hours.

Commercial Warranty Dispatch Inventory

VEGE backs this commercial long block with a 3-Year or 100,000-mile limited commercial warranty. The reinforced wooden pallet crate contains the remanufactured 258 long block core, oil pan, front timing cover, dual valve covers, internal oil pump pickup tube, and complete factory installation setup guide.
