VEGE Remanufactured 857 2.4L 2362cc Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Internal balance shaft bearing failure causing low oil pressure stops with the VEGE Remanufactured 857 2.4L Long Block Engine. Producing 158HP from a 2362cc 4-Cylinder commercial long block repower platform, this engine restores daily commercial fleet vehicles. Rebuilders must check balance shaft drive gear timing marks carefully to eliminate excessive internal engine vibration.

Cast from ASTM A356-T6 aluminum with cast-in centrifugally spun iron liners, this engine provides superior heat dispersion and low mass. This VEGE engine core pairs hypereutectic pistons with hardened steel camshaft profiles. Cranking demands 12V 145A starter power. Engine dry weight stands at 275 lbs within a 22in length, 21in width, 24in height chassis envelope with 4.5 quarts sump capacity.

Key Features of VEGE 857

Independent fleet repair facilities buy VEGE 857 commercial long block units to stop fleet comebacks from persistent balance assembly failure. Factory assembly lines adhere strictly to industrial engine rebuild remanufacturing tolerances.

• Forged steel crankshaft undergoes magnetic particle testing to ensure zero structural core flaws.
• Micro-polished main journals maintain 0.0013in running clearance for stable hydrodynamic lubrication wedge.
• Fine-finish plateau honed iron liners reduce ring break-in friction while sealing combustion pressures.
• Precision-surfaced head deck maintains 0.0002in flatness to stop water jacket compression leaks.
• Variable valve timing phasers receive new hydraulic control seals to guarantee instantaneous cam advance.
• 857 commercial core engineering integrates reinforced main web bulkheads to prevent crankcase deflection.
• Bi-metal aluminum-silicon bearings resist high load fatigue under severe continuous transit work.

Bench Dynamometer Load Thermal Data

Automated test dynos confirm 158 continuous BHP and 162 ft-lbs torque output at 4200 RPM continuous sweep calibration. Monitoring displays 46 PSI galley pressure at 190°F oil sump temperature, while exhaust gas temp peaks at 1200°F under maximum test pull. Cylinder compression measures 185 PSI across all four cylinders within 3% balance. Crankshaft runout checks at 0.0002in TIR on the 857 long block engine.

Installation Requirements Negative Filter Rules

Throttle cam lever pull force registers 4 lbs on the factory cable return assembly. This powertrain is NOT engineered for commercial trucks exceeding 6,000 lbs gross weight ratings or heavy towing rigs. Installation technicians must execute verified startup maintenance protocols without exception.

• Change out initial break-in oil supply and install fresh filter at 500 miles.
• Verify valve shim clearances cold at 0.008in intake and 0.012in exhaust before valve cover torquing.
• Check intake runner flange fasteners for correct sealing torque after the first heat cycle.

Warranty Registration Crate Manifest Contents

All rebuilding procedures meet strict VEGE assembly standard metrics covered by a 3-Year 100,000-mile warranty. The wood transport container houses the long block core, stamped oil pan, aluminum front cover, stamped valve cover, oil pickup tube, and signed dyno run verification sheet.
