VEGE Remanufactured 404A 1.6L 1590cc Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Engineered to satisfy demanding commercial fleet routes, the VEGE Remanufactured 404A Car Truck Long Block Engine repowers fatigued four-cylinder utility chassis. This 1.6L 1590cc inline-4 car truck long block replacement produces 95HP across a 16-valve aluminum architecture. Narrow engine bay clearances demand careful hoist leveling during placement to prevent firewall sensor damage.

High-pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder casting gives the VEGE 404A long block assembly structural rigidity under continuous urban stop-and-go driving conditions. The 5-main bearing bottom end supports a precision balanced nodular iron crankshaft. Designed for 12V electrical systems, cold starter current draws 135A. Dry engine weight measures 235 lbs within an installation stance of 23in length by 21in width and 24in height. Oil pan capacity holds 4 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured 404A

Fleet maintenance supervisors buy VEGE Remanufactured 404A engines to execute an efficient commercial long block repower on light route delivery trucks and small utility vans. This VEGE remanufactured long block provides direct replacement fitment for 1.6L four-cylinder commercial vehicle chassis.

• Five oversized main bearings absorb crankshaft torsional stress under continuous highway hauling.
• 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.
• Single overhead camshaft valvetrain optimizes intake air flow while simplifying valvetrain service.
• Heavy duty timing belt system maintains camshaft phase stability under sudden acceleration surges.
• High capacity oil pump supplies 45 PSI continuous pressure to main bearings and camshaft journals.
• Precision machined rear flange mates this 404A commercial core to original automatic or manual gearboxes.

Dyno Certified Thermal Diagnostics

Brake dynamometer trials establish this 404A long block engine produces 95HP at 5,600 RPM alongside 98 ft-lbs torque output at 4,000 RPM on standard commercial fuels. Oil pressure holds 45 PSI at operating temperature while coolant flow keeps operating temperatures at 182°F. Exhaust pyrometers register 1,160°F during full load step tests. Compression measurements verify 165 PSI across all 4 cylinders within 2% variance. Crankshaft journal runout checks below 0.0003in TIR on precision dial indicators.

Field Service Installation Bounds

Throttle cable pull mechanisms require 4 lbs force for smooth accelerator pedal action. Do not install this 1.6L four-cylinder car truck long block engine in passenger chassis requiring transverse drivetrain orientation without matching transaxle mounts. Fleet maintenance teams must check transmission torque converter pilot engagement depth before torquing bellhousing bolts to this 404A engine core.

• Change 5W-30 synthetic blend oil and filter every 250 operating hours or 3,500 miles.
• Inspect timing belt cover seal and front crankshaft damper every 500 operating hours.
• Torque intake and exhaust manifold bolts to 22 ft-lbs every 600 run hours.
