VEGE Remanufactured 617B 1.8L 1839cc Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Stop severe fleet downtime with the VEGE 617B Car Truck Long Block Engine. This 1.8L 1839cc 4-Cylinder gas unit produces 105HP for light commercial long block repower projects. Mechanics must confirm exhaust manifold port alignment before drop-in installation because cast flanges vary by chassis year.

Pearlitic gray iron casting forms the foundation of this VEGE engine core. A heat-treated forged steel crankshaft resists torsional fatigue under continuous fleet duty. The 12V starter system draws 155A during winter cold starts. This unit scales at 265 lbs dry weight within a compact 23in length by 20in width by 22in height stance holding 4.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE 617B

Fleet operators buy VEGE 617B Car Truck Long Block Engine units to slash turnaround time during an industrial engine rebuild. Each assembly restores factory compression across all four chambers.

• Bore dimension measures 3.27in with precision honed cylinder wall crosshatch patterns for oil retention.
• Stroke measures 3.35in to establish balanced piston velocity throughout normal commercial operation.
• Austenitic stainless steel valves maintain seating face integrity past 1,400°F combustion peaks.
• Tri-metal rod bearings support 0.0014in oil clearances under continuous highway load cycles.
• The 617B long block engine integrates a precision balanced nodular iron camshaft for accurate valve lift.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets eliminate combustion gas leaks between adjacent cylinders.
• Deep skirt crankcase design reinforces main bearing web cross sections against block flex.

Dyno Verification Shop Limits

Every 617B commercial core undergoes strict spin cell testing prior to packaging. The dynamometer reads 105 continuous BHP and 110 ft-lbs torque at 3,200 RPM. Hot oil gallery pressure maintains 52 PSI at 190°F operating temperature. Exhaust gas temperature stays below 1,320°F under simulated hill climb conditions. Cylinder compression delivers 180 PSI with under 3% variance between bores while crankshaft runout stays within 0.0003in TIR.

Field Service Protocols Clearance

Cable linkages require 4 lbs actuation pull to regulate factory throttle plates. Do not install this light commercial engine into chassis that mandate dual overhead camshaft electronic variable valve timing systems.

• Change conventional motor oil every 3,000 miles or swap synthetic oil every 5,000 miles.
• Inspect mechanical valve lash adjustments every 25,000 miles setting cold intake clearance to 0.008in.
• Retorque cylinder head fasteners to 58 ft-lbs after the initial 50 run hours.
