VEGE Remanufactured 331C 2.4L 2389cc Multi Purpose Long Block Engine

Description

Commercial plant operators facing severe oil leakage from cracked engine blocks install the VEGE Remanufactured 331C Multi Purpose Long Block Engine for reliable utility restoration. This 2.4L 2389cc inline-4 multi purpose long block replacement outputs 135HP across a cast iron architecture. Heavy monoblock casting mass demands secure crane rigging during equipment drop-in placement.

High-density gray iron cylinder block casting gives the VEGE 331C long block assembly structural rigidity under demanding commercial delivery cycles. The 5-main bearing bottom end supports a balanced nodular iron crankshaft. Designed for 12V automotive charging systems, starter current draws 160A during cold winter starts. Dry engine weight measures 315 lbs within a base envelope of 25in length by 22in width and 26in height. The oil pan volume holds 4.5 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured 331C

Commercial fleet mechanics buy VEGE Remanufactured 331C engines to complete a multi purpose long block repower on light route delivery vans and utility vehicles. This VEGE remanufactured long block provides direct replacement fitment for 2.4L four-cylinder commercial applications.

• Five main bearing journals support the crankshaft to resist rotational flex under load.
• Cast aluminum pistons feature micro-grooved skirts for superior cylinder wall oil retention.
• Overhead camshaft cylinder head provides maximum breathing efficiency and fuel economy.
• Hydraulic valve lash adjusters maintain correct valve seating with zero manual adjustments.
• Heavy duty timing chain set maintains camshaft phase stability under sudden acceleration surges.
• Trochoid type oil pump pushes 45 PSI through internal galleries at operating temperature.
• Standard bellhousing pattern mates this 331C multi purpose core to original factory transmissions.

Dyno Verification Thermal Limits

Dynamometer water brake testing confirms this 331C long block engine generates 135HP at 5,000 RPM and 150 ft-lbs torque output at 3,200 RPM on standard commercial fuels. Oil pressure stabilizes at 45 PSI with oil pan temperatures held at 185°F during step load testing. Coolant loop passages maintain 180°F under full water brake resistance. Cylinder compression gauges show 165 PSI across all 4 cylinders with variance under 2%. Crankshaft journal runout checks out at 0.0003in TIR on dial indicators.

Transverse Chassis Installation Bounds

Throttle cable connections require 4 lbs pull force for smooth accelerator pedal action. Do not install this 2.4L inline-4 multi purpose long block engine in commercial trucks carrying heavy payloads over 5,500 lbs GVW. Mechanics must inspect transmission spline alignment before torquing bellhousing hardware to this 331C engine core to prevent clutch chatter.

• Change 5W-30 motor oil and spin-on filter every 250 operating hours or 3,500 miles.
• Inspect timing chain tensioner and front crankshaft seal every 500 operating hours.
• Check water pump seal and cooling system hose clamps every 600 run hours.

Standard Warranty Crate Manifest

VEGE backs this multi purpose long block with a 3-Year or 100,000-mile limited commercial warranty. The banded wooden freight box contains the remanufactured 331C long block core, stamped oil pan, front timing cover, stamped valve cover, internal oil pump, and complete factory installation setup instructions.
