VEGE Remanufactured 865C 5.7L 5663cc Industrial Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Camshaft tower sealant degradation and secondary timing chain tensioner failures trigger oil leaks and valvetrain noise in heavy commercial transport chassis. The VEGE Remanufactured 865C Industrial Grade Long Block Engine resolves persistent cam housing leakage during an industrial engine rebuild. This 5.7L 5663cc 8-Cylinder 32-Valve platform produces 381HP. Mechanics must verify dual VVTi oil feed banjo filters.

Precision cast A356 aluminum with cast iron cylinder sleeves forms the rigid deep skirt block case. Dual overhead camshafts spin inside aluminum four-valve combustion heads within this VEGE commercial core. Cold cranking draws 175A across standard 12V heavy duty starter circuits. Total dry unrigged mass registers 485 lbs with dimensions of 29in length, 28in width, 28in height. The cast aluminum oil sump holds 7.5 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured 865C

Fleet directors buy VEGE Remanufactured 865C Industrial Grade Long Block Engine units to repower severe service transport vehicles. Every commercial long block repower integrates upgraded cam tower seals and balanced rotating assemblies to deliver durable high output operation.

• Dual overhead camshafts with four valves per cylinder optimize air induction across broad RPM bands.
• 0.0015in connecting rod journal clearances preserve protective hydrodynamic oil films during continuous heavy towing.
• Dual variable valve timing sprockets adjust timing for high mid range pulling torque.
• The 865C commercial core features anaerobic sealant across cam towers to stop leaks.
• Plateau honed cylinder liners seat rings fast without bore scuffing or oil consumption.
• Multi layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain fire ring seal integrity under elevated combustion heat.
• Hydraulic timing chain tensioners with ratchet locks prevent chain slack on cold morning starts.

Dynamometer Performance Test Benchmarks

Dynamometer cell testing rates this 865C long block engine at 381 BHP and 401 ft-lbs of continuous torque at 3600 RPM. Main oil galleries deliver 55 PSI at 195°F oil pan thermal equilibrium. Exhaust gas thermocouple probes register 1260°F during sustained max load cycles on the water brake absorber unit. Compression testing confirms 195 PSI across all eight cylinders within 3% balance across both cylinder banks. Crankshaft total runout measures under 0.0003in TIR to preserve heavy duty main bearing shells under load.

Chassis Setup Maintenance Protocols

Drive-by-wire electronic throttle body plugs snap into connector receptacles with zero manual cable adjustment. This 32-valve aluminum V8 is NOT compatible with early carbureted fuel delivery systems, marine inboard jet drives, or unbaffled dry sump racing chassis setups.

• Drain break-in motor lubricant and replace the spin-on filter element at 500 miles or 30 operating hours.
• Hydraulic stationary lash adjusters require zero manual valve lash adjustments during routine maintenance checks.
• Torque cylinder head torque-to-yield fasteners using specified angle rotation increments without subsequent hot retorque passes.

Crated Inventory Warranty Coverage

Engineered to meet the stringent VEGE assembly standard, this heavy duty unit includes a 3-Year 100,000-mile parts warranty. The timber freight crate encloses the long block, cast aluminum oil pan, front timing cover, composite valve covers, oil pickup screen, and authenticated shop dynamometer test sheet.
