VEGE Remanufactured 564 1.5L 1496cc Compact Car Long Block Engine

Description

Minimize municipal fleet maintenance costs with the VEGE 564 Compact Car Long Block Engine built for commercial long block repower projects in urban courier vehicles. This 1496cc 4-Cylinder assembly produces 106HP through dual overhead camshafts and 16 valves. Mechanics must verify engine ground strap contact during drop in replacement because poor block grounding corrupts camshaft position sensor signals.

Cast from A356 aluminum alloy with centrifugally spun ductile iron sleeves, the engine block connects to a high flow aluminum cylinder head. Each VEGE engine core undergoes ultrasonic wall thickness checks, CNC deck machining to 0.0002in flatness, and main tunnel line boring. A 12V starter system draws 140A during cold cranking. Unrigged dry weight totals 220 lbs across a 23in length by 20in width by 22in height mounting stance. Sump holds 3.7 quarts of 5W-20 oil.

Key Features of VEGE 564

Light transit fleets buy VEGE 564 Compact Car Long Block assemblies to complete an industrial engine rebuild with zero shop downtime. Standardized rebuild processes restore all reciprocating parts to original factory mechanical clearances.

• 1496cc displacement generates 103 ft-lbs torque across daily urban commercial transit routes.
• Dual overhead camshaft valvetrain controls 16 valves through mechanical bucket tappet assemblies.
• The 564 commercial core receives diamond cylinder hone finishing for rapid ring seating.
• Forged alloy steel connecting rods hold hypereutectic aluminum pistons with low friction skirts.
• Induction hardened crankshaft journals maintain total runout under 0.0003in total indicator reading.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets eliminate coolant leaks under continuous high thermal loads.
• Heavy duty timing chain guide rails maintain positive cam synchronization past 6,000 RPM.

Dynamic Load Bench Tolerances

Bench tested on an engine dynamometer, the 564 long block engine produces 106 continuous BHP at 6,000 RPM and 103 ft-lbs torque at 4,200 RPM. Crankcase oil gallery pressure stabilizes at 50 PSI with oil sump temperature sustained at 190°F. Exhaust pyrometer probes measure heat under 1,180°F under continuous full load pulls. Cylinder compression gauges verify 180 PSI across all 4 cylinders within a 3% variance. Crankshaft journal runout measures 0.0002in TIR, maintaining bearing oil clearances between 0.0010in and 0.0016in.

Field Service Maintenance Rules

Accelerator cable linkage needs 4 lbs pull force to operate the throttle plate without binding. Do not install this 1.5L compact car replacement engine into heavy delivery step vans or chassis configurations grossing over 3,000 lbs total weight.

• Drain engine oil and replace spin on filters every 3,000 miles or 150 run hours with 5W-20 oil.
• Check mechanical valve lash every 15,000 miles, setting intake to 0.008in and exhaust to 0.012in cold.
• Retorque all cylinder head bolts to 45 ft-lbs after the initial 50 operating hours of service.

Warranty Terms Crate Contents

VEGE assembly standard rules supply 3-Year or 100,000-mile limited warranty protection on every unit. The secure wooden freight crate includes the assembled long block core, stamped steel oil pan, pickup tube, front timing cover, stamped valve cover, and quality control inspection documents.
