VEGE Remanufactured DCVH 3.6L 217ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Factory remanufacturing standards establish the VEGE DCVH Premium Grade Long Block Engine as your primary commercial long block repower solution. This 3.6L 217ci 6-Cylinder dual overhead cam powerplant delivers 260HP for municipal utility fleets. Technicians must check direct fuel injection high pressure pump camshaft lobe drive wear because damaged pump lobes cause low fuel rail pressure under load.

Solid ASTM A356 aluminum alloy with cast-in iron liners forms the rigid deep skirt cylinder block. Each VEGE engine core incorporates a forged steel crankshaft and forged powder metal connecting rods. Valvetrain geometry integrates stellite faced exhaust valves inside wear resistant guides. The 12V starter draws 165A under full cold cranking load. Net dry weight measures 370 lbs across 25in length, 26in width, 26in height, with 6.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE DCVH

Commercial shops buy VEGE DCVH Premium Grade Long Block Engine hardware to execute an industrial engine rebuild with verified shop floor reliability. Precision robotic boring centers each cylinder axis perpendicular to the main bearing centerline for maximum piston ring seal.

• A modern 3.6L 217ci dual overhead cam platform delivers smooth power across commercial routes.
• Deep skirt main bearing caps provide exceptional crankshaft rigidity under continuous load.
• Computerized cylinder boring ensures uniform cylinder wall thickness to stop thermal bore distortion.
• The DCVH commercial core timing set utilizes premium link chains to prevent cam timing retard.
• Line honed camshaft journals ensure low friction rotation and continuous head lubrication.
• Cast iron exhaust seats resist pitting from continuous dry fuel highway fleet operation.
• Multi layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain fire ring seal integrity under full throttle shifts.

Dynamometer Verification Operational Thresholds

Dyno testing validates that each DCVH long block engine yields 260HP and 250 ft-lbs of shaft torque at 6,500 RPM. Technicians maintain 2,600 RPM continuous load while tracking oil gallery pressure between 45 PSI and 68 PSI. Engine oil temperatures hold steady at 198°F with exhaust gas levels peaking at 1,220°F. Bench compression gauges show 180 PSI across all six cylinders within 4% total variance. Crankshaft journal runout remains under 0.0002in TIR to prevent bearing shell wipeout.

Field Installation Maintenance Protocols

Electronic drive-by-wire throttle bodies demand diagnostic baseline calibration sweeps prior to road testing. Do not drop this commercial replacement engine into chassis lacking auxiliary engine oil coolers or electric cooling fans. Fleet service teams must apply standard maintenance protocols.

• Change out break-in engine oil and the spin-on filter element after 500 miles or 30 run hours.
• Verify high pressure direct injection pump drive followers sit flat on camshaft driving lobes.
• Check cooling system thermostat operation to verify standard coolant flow initiates at 195°F.

Crate Manifest Coverage Terms

Rebuilding procedures follow the certified VEGE assembly standard backed by a 3-Year 100,000-mile parts warranty. Inside the timber transport crate rests the assembled long block core, aluminum oil pan, front timing cover, stamped valve covers, oil pickup tube, and the certified shop dyno checklist.
