VEGE Remanufactured DC36 5.0L 305ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Camshaft flat tappet lobe rounding and valve stem seal degradation cause smoky idle stops in courier vans. The VEGE DC36 Premium Grade Long Block Engine eliminates oil consumption during industrial engine rebuild replacements. This 5.0L 305ci 8-Cylinder motor makes 170HP. Mechanics must verify one-piece rear main seal housing alignment before torquing oil pan rails.

Poured ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron forms the rigid 90-degree small block envelope. This VEGE engine core integrates a nodular iron crankshaft, powdered metal connecting rods, and cast iron heads. Cold cranking starter draw pulls 165A on 12V. Dry weight is 465 lbs, sump capacity spans 5.0 quarts, with a base envelope of 28in length, 25in width, 26in height.

Key Features of VEGE DC36

Service managers choose to buy VEGE DC36 commercial long block repower crates for economical fleet maintenance. The small bore V8 delivers dependable pulling power with low thermal exhaust stress.

• Cylinder bore diameter honed to 3.736in optimizes ring seating under heavy city driving.
• Crankshaft stroke measured at 3.480in produces strong low-RPM torque for route vehicles.
• Hydraulic roller camshaft eliminates mechanical valvetrain wear from modern low-zinc lubricants.
• Center bolt valve cover heads provide superior perimeter oil sealing against road grime.
• Stellite exhaust valve faces stop premature recession under sustained highway transit.
• The DC36 commercial core matches traditional rear-wheel drive commercial chassis engine mounts.
• High volume oil pump feeds steady hydraulic pressure to lifter galleys at idle.

Operational Test Cell Tolerances

Technicians test every DC36 long block engine on automated dynamometer cells before packaging. Continuous run diagnostics verify 170 BHP and 255 ft-lbs torque output at 3200 RPM continuous load. Oil gallery pressure maintains 50 PSI at 190°F oil sump temperature. Exhaust gas pyrometers read 1080°F EGT across manifold runners. Cylinder compression hits 170 PSI across all eight cylinders. Crankshaft center journal runout stays below 0.0003in TIR limit across all bench test phases.

Field Usability Integration Instructions

Throttle cable linkage requires 5 lbs spring return pull force for positive mechanical throttle closure. Never install this small bore iron engine into transverse front-wheel drive passenger cars or marine stern drive installations.

• Drain break-in motor lubricant and replace spin-on filter element after 50 operating hours.
• Adjust hydraulic lifter preload to zero lash plus one-half turn down on rocker nuts.
• Torque iron cylinder head fasteners in circular sequence finishing at 65 ft-lbs.

Packaging Scope Warranty Terms
