VEGE Remanufactured DC82 4.8L 292ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Integral cylinder head crack development and distributor drive roll pin shearing disable heavy commercial haulers mid-route. The VEGE Remanufactured DC82 4.8L 292ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine eliminates inline-six head cracking through an industrial engine rebuild. This 4.8L 6-Cylinder build develops 165HP, but mechanics must verify tall-deck pushrod side cover clearance during installation.

Cast from ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron, this VEGE engine core utilizes a remanufactured non-integral iron cylinder head and a forged steel crankshaft. Starter draw demands 160A on 12V circuits. Dry engine mass equals 480 lbs inside 33in length, 22in width, 28in height dimensions with 6.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE DC82

Fleet operators buy VEGE Remanufactured DC82 4.8L 292ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine units to restore massive low-RPM lugging power to heavy commercial trucks. Non-integral cylinder head design separates the intake manifold from the head casting to stop the thermal expansion cracking common to factory integral heads.

• Tall-deck 10.75in block height accommodates a 4.125in stroke paired with a 3.875in bore.
• Separate non-integral cylinder head eliminates exhaust heat soak cracking across intake ports.
• Heavy-duty forged steel crankshaft withstands severe low-rpm lugging under loaded commercial beds.
• Hydraulic flat tappet camshaft grinds restore factory valve events without aggressive spring seat strain.
• DC82 commercial core line-boring guarantees true crankshaft journal rotation under heavy loads.
• Plateau-honed cylinder walls establish immediate piston ring seal without blowby.
• Tri-metal copper-lead bearings absorb abrasive micro-debris to prevent crankshaft journal scoring.

Bench Dynamometer Load Statistics

Dyno validation confirms mechanical parameters on each DC82 long block engine before shipping. The inline-six develops 165HP at 4000 RPM and 280 ft-lbs torque at 2000 RPM. Oil gallery pressure maintains 55 PSI hot at 190°F oil temperature. Cylinder compression balances out at 165 PSI across all cylinders with 3% variance. Crank runout limits to 0.0003in TIR. Exhaust gas temp tops out at 1210°F under full load.

Bay Constraints Maintenance Schedules

Throttle linkage pull requires 5 lbs force. This tall-deck inline-six engine is NOT compatible with standard short-deck 250ci passenger car motor mount brackets, transverse chassis layouts, or modern high-pressure electronic fuel injection systems.

• Flush break-in engine oil and replace the filter element after 500 highway transit miles.
• Adjust hydraulic valvetrain rockers to zero lash plus one-half turn preload cold.
• Check cylinder head bolt torque down to 95 ft-lbs following initial thermal normalization runs.

Powertrain Guarantee Manifest Inventory
