VEGE Remanufactured DCM6 5.7L 350ci Multi Purpose Long Block Engine

Description

Heavy cross-town deliveries demand the VEGE DCM6 Multi Purpose Long Block Engine. This 5.7L 350ci V8 platform delivers 255HP for severe duty commercial long block repower needs. Technicians must check intake manifold bolt angles before final torquing because center intake bolts use different entry angles across early and late heads.

ASTM A48 Class 35 gray iron lines the engine block of this dependable VEGE engine core. A heavy nodular iron crankshaft spins in precision honed four bolt main bearing saddles for exceptional structural strength. Cranking pulls 185A across 12V starter circuits. The iron assembly weighs 505 lbs dry inside an engine stance of 29in length by 26in width by 27in height holding 5.0 quarts oil.

Key Features of VEGE DCM6

Shop owners buy VEGE DCM6 Multi Purpose Long Block Engine packages to eliminate workshop delays during an industrial engine rebuild. Precision broached cylinder head mating surfaces stop head gasket failure under persistent thermal cycles.

• Classic 350ci displacement provides dependable torque multiplication across flatbed haul cycles.
• Four-bolt main bearing journals secure the lower end against high RPM crankshaft deflection.
• Austenitic stainless steel valves maintain seating face integrity past 1,420°F combustion peaks.
• Copper lead bearings maintain 0.0016in oil clearances to support hydrodynamic boundary lubrication.
• The DCM6 commercial core utilizes a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft for reliable valve timing.
• Precision ground pistons include anti-friction skirts to minimize bore friction under high loads.
• One-piece fluoroelastomer rear main seals stop oil leaks around the rear crankshaft flange.

Dynamic Dyno Load Evaluation

Every DCM6 long block engine undergoes exhaustive dyno testing prior to shipment packaging. Dynamometer figures confirm 255 continuous BHP and 335 ft-lbs torque output at 3,000 RPM. Main oil gallery pressure reads 56 PSI at 190°F operating temperature. Exhaust gas temperatures stabilize safely at 1,340°F. Individual cylinder compression delivers 182 PSI with under 4% variance while crank runout measures 0.0003in TIR.

Field Usability Operator Rules

Throttle shaft bellcrank mechanisms actuate smoothly with 5 lbs applied pulling force. Do not install this center-bolt valve cover small block engine into chassis requiring mechanical fuel pumps without verifying block fuel pump rod provisions.

• Perform engine oil and lube filter service intervals every 3,000 miles or 125 run hours.
• Check hydraulic valve lifter preload every 30,000 miles adjusting rocker nuts to spec.
• Verify cylinder head bolt torque to 65 ft-lbs following initial break in heat cycles.
