VEGE Remanufactured 404C 1.6L 1588cc Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Drop the VEGE Remanufactured 404C Premium Long Block Engine into chassis bays requiring refined four-cylinder commercial endurance. This 1.6L 1588cc inline-4 premium grade long block outputs 100HP with balanced rotating assemblies and tight machining tolerances. Stiff valve springs require initial lubrication priming before engine startup to avoid initial valvetrain friction.

High-tensile aluminum alloy casting gives the VEGE 404C long block assembly maximum structural damping and fatigue resistance under continuous urban haul cycles. The 5-main bearing bottom end secures a precision balanced forged steel crankshaft. Engineered for 12V electrical systems, starter current draws 135A. Net dry weight lands at 235 lbs within a mounting stance of 23in length by 21in width and 24in height. Oil pan capacity holds 4 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured 404C

Commercial transport operators buy VEGE Remanufactured 404C engines to execute a premium commercial long block repower on service vans requiring high uptime and low vibration. This VEGE remanufactured long block sets exceptional durability standards for demanding commercial fleet operators.

• Precision balanced crankshaft reduces rotational vibration through the entire 5,600 RPM range.
• Diamond-turned hypereutectic pistons feature moly-coated skirts for reduced cold start bore scuffing.
• Induction-hardened stellite valve seats withstand continuous high-temperature commercial highway hauling.
• Overhead camshaft profiles maximize low-end torque output between 1,800 RPM and 3,600 RPM.
• Reinforced timing belt train eliminates timing deflection under severe torque shock loads.
• High capacity oil pump supplies 48 PSI continuous pressure to main bearings and lifters.
• Precision machined bellhousing flange allows this 404C premium core to bolt to commercial gearboxes.

Brake Dynamometer Load Diagnostics

Brake dynamometer trials establish this 404C long block engine generates 100HP at 5,600 RPM and 102 ft-lbs torque output at 3,800 RPM on standard commercial fuels. Oil pressure holds 46 PSI at operating temperature while coolant flow keeps operating temperatures at 182°F. Pyrometer gauges confirm exhaust manifold heat within 1,160°F during full load step tests. Compression measurements verify 165 PSI across all 4 cylinders within 2% deviation. Crankshaft journal runout checks below 0.0003in TIR on dial indicators.

Engine Bay Operator Limits

Throttle lever pull force requires 4 lbs to overcome dual throttle return springs. Do not install this premium grade inline-4 long block engine in passenger cars lacking 24in longitudinal bay clearance or vehicles lacking 12V electrical systems. Fleet maintenance teams must check transmission bellhousing dowel alignment to prevent input shaft pilot bushing binding on this 404C engine core.

• Renew 5W-30 synthetic blend oil and filter every 250 operating hours or 4,000 miles.
• Inspect valve train rocker geometry and camshaft belt tracking every 800 run hours.
• Verify intake manifold torque at 22 ft-lbs every 400 operating hours.

Verified Crate Manifest Warranty

VEGE protects this premium long block with a 3-Year or 100,000-mile commercial powertrain warranty. The wooden freight crate contains the remanufactured 404C long block core, premium valve cover, oil pan, front timing cover, oil pickup tube, basic gasket set, and certified build inspection sheet.
