VEGE Remanufactured DCTZ 3.5L 211ci Compact Car Long Block Engine

Description

Severe oil consumption issues dictate the VEGE DCTZ Long Block Engine, engineered for commercial long block repower assignments in front wheel drive fleet vehicles. This 3.5L 211 cid pushrod V6 generates 211HP at 5,200 RPM. Machinists must inspect transmission dowel pin alignment pins because worn transaxle cases cause input shaft binding during installation.

Solid ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron forms the 60° V6 cylinder case. A cast nodular iron crankshaft rotates within this VEGE engine core on tri-metal bearings. Starter draw measures 145A on 12V vehicle circuits. Total dry weight registers at 360 lbs with an unrigged exterior envelope of 24in length by 23in width by 25in height. Sump holds 4.5 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE DCTZ

Fleet repair shops buy VEGE DCTZ Long Block Engine units to minimize shop labor during an industrial engine rebuild turnaround. Remanufacturing operations install new valve guides to eliminate pushrod valvetrain oil draw through intake ports.

• Cast aluminum cylinder heads optimize high velocity intake air swirl for prompt throttle response.
• A central camshaft design actuates hydraulic roller lifters to minimize internal friction losses.
• Precision ground journals preserve dynamic oil film strength under severe thermal operating conditions.
• The DCTZ commercial core holds 0.0015in main journal bearing clearances for steady lubrication support.
• Hypereutectic pistons feature coated skirts to prevent cylinder bore scuffing under cold starts.
• Heavy gauge steel pushrods transfer uniform lift motion without deflection under load.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets clamp down tightly to eliminate combustion bore leakage.

Dynamometer Test Limits Thermal Thresholds

Dyno validation charts indicate 211HP at 5,200 RPM and 214 ft-lbs torque at 4,000 RPM on this DCTZ long block engine. Gauge monitors show 48 PSI oil gallery pressure at 2,000 RPM when test sump lubricant reaches 190°F. Compression testing measures 180 PSI across all six cylinders within 3% balance. Crankshaft center journal runout remains under 0.0002in TIR. Exhaust gas temperature probes register 1,210°F during extended test pulls.

Field Handling Routine Maintenance Directives

Drive by wire throttle actuators require clean harness terminal contacts to avoid intermittent signal drops. Technicians should not install this heavy duty replacement engine into chassis lacking electronic throttle programming or vehicles with compromised cooling fans.

• Drain break in crankcase oil after 500 miles or 30 operating hours then install 5W-30 synthetic blend oil.
• Inspect pushrod ends and rocker arm pivots for oil flow before final valve cover bolt down.
• Torque cylinder head fasteners in proper sequence up to 65 ft-lbs plus 90° angle turn.

Crate Manifest Warranty Terms Overview

The VEGE build standard provides a 3-Year or 100,000-mile parts warranty for total customer peace of mind. Crate shipments contain the remanufactured long block core, oil pan, front timing cover, valve covers, oil pump, plus official signed quality inspection reports.
