VEGE Remanufactured 555 2.0L 1998cc Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Commercial mechanics rebuild route vans with the VEGE 555 Car Truck Long Block Engine during commercial long block repower projects in light delivery vans. This 1998cc 4-Cylinder assembly produces 160HP through dual overhead camshaft chain drive geometry. Technicians must check oil pan clearance against the front axle beam during drop in placement to prevent sump pan damage.

Cast from A356-T6 aluminum alloy with centrifugally spun ductile iron sleeves, the engine block connects to a high flow aluminum cylinder head. Each VEGE engine core undergoes magnetic particle crack testing, deck milling within 0.0002in flatness, and line boring. The 12V starter system draws 165A under cold cranking tests. Unrigged dry weight registers 280 lbs across a 25in length by 22in width by 24in height mounting stance. Sump holds 4.5 quarts of 5W-20 oil.

Key Features of VEGE 555

Commercial fleets buy VEGE 555 Car Truck Long Block assemblies to complete an industrial engine rebuild without expensive logistics downtime. Controlled remanufacturing operations restore critical factory tolerances across all moving mechanical components.

• 1998cc displacement produces 140 ft-lbs torque across everyday commercial delivery route duties.
• Dual overhead camshaft chain drive controls 16 valves with precision ground valve faces.
• The 555 commercial core receives diamond cylinder hone processing for rapid ring seating.
• Forged steel crankshaft journals undergo micro polishing to reduce journal drag under load.
• Hypereutectic aluminum alloy pistons feature graphite coated skirts to eliminate cold scuffing.
• High strength multi layer steel head gaskets seal combustion chambers against blow by under load.
• Heavy duty timing chain guide rails maintain positive cam synchronization up to 6,800 RPM.

Dynamic Load Bench Tolerances

On the water brake dynamometer, the 555 long block engine produces 160 continuous BHP at 6,500 RPM and 140 ft-lbs torque at 5,000 RPM. Oil gallery pressure maintains 55 PSI under high operating heat with sump temperatures stabilized at 195°F. Pyrometer gauges measure exhaust gas heat levels below 1,240°F under sustained brake load. Compression testing confirms 190 PSI across all 4 cylinders with under 3% variance. Crankshaft journal runout remains below 0.0003in TIR, keeping main bearing oil clearances between 0.0010in and 0.0016in.

Field Service Maintenance Rules

Accelerator cable linkage needs 5 lbs pull force to operate the throttle plate without binding. Do not install this 2.0L car truck replacement engine into marine inboard hull cavities or severe duty stationary pumps that require constant wide open throttle.

• Service motor oil and spin on filters every 3,000 miles or 150 run hours with 5W-20 specification oil.
• Check timing chain tensioner travel and adjust valve lash every 15,000 miles to factory cold specifications.
• Retorque all cylinder head bolts to 65 ft-lbs after the first 50 operating hours of service.

Warranty Terms Crate Contents

VEGE assembly standard guidelines supply 3-Year or 100,000-mile limited warranty protection on every unit. The heavy wooden shipping crate includes the remanufactured long block core, cast aluminum oil pan, pickup tube, front timing cover, valve cover, and quality control inspection documents.
