VEGE Remanufactured DCVQ 3.6L 217ci High Output Long Block Engine
Plumb custom crossover fuel lines VEGE Remanufactured DCVQ 3.6L 302HP high output long block crates. Features a 217 CID aluminum block generating 272 TQ utilizing 11.3:1 compression. Connect your ignition.
- 302 HP dominates steep highway hills
- 11.3:1 compression requires premium 93 octane
- Included timing cover protects chain mechanics
Description
Timing chain stretching and oil filter cooler housing warpage cause catastrophic oil starvation across commercial fleets. The VEGE DCVQ High Output Long Block Engine eliminates timing guide chatter during commercial long block repower overhauls. This 3.6L 217ci 6-Cylinder engine produces 305HP. Mechanics must verify correct camshaft phaser oil control valve torque to prevent variable valve timing codes.
Constructed from precision die cast A319 aluminum with pressed iron liners, the deep skirt block ensures structural strength. Our VEGE engine core houses a forged steel crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and dual overhead camshaft heads. Cold cranking starter draw pulls 165A on 12V. Dry weight is 360 lbs, oil pan holds 6.0 quarts, with a base envelope of 24in length, 25in width, 26in height.
Key Features of VEGE DCVQ
Commercial transport fleets buy VEGE DCVQ commercial long block repower units to restore front-line utility capability. This modern high output powerplant provides broad torque bands combined with low exhaust emissions.
- Cylinder bore diameter machined to 3.700in ensures optimal piston ring seating under load.
- Piston stroke calibrated at 3.370in delivers immediate throttle response across highway speeds.
- Four-chain timing system incorporates hardened pins to prevent timing chain elongation.
- High pressure direct injection camshaft lobes resist surface scuffing from roller lifters.
- Multi valve dual overhead camshaft architecture maximizes airflow across high engine speeds.
- The DCVQ commercial core fits front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive commercial chassis cradles.
- Reinforced aluminum oil pan improves transaxle case rigidity and prevents road hazard damage.
- Integrated oil cooler mounting provisions maintain thermal oil balance under heavy loads.
Hot Cell Dynamometer Metrics
Engineers test each DCVQ long block engine on automated water-brake dynamometer cells. Continuous testing validates 305 BHP and 268 ft-lbs torque output at 4200 RPM continuous load. Oil gallery pressure maintains 55 PSI at 195°F oil sump temperature. Exhaust gas pyrometers read 1160°F EGT under load tests. Cylinder compression measures 190 PSI across all six cylinders. Crankshaft runout limits stay below 0.0003in TIR.
Field Service Interface Guidelines
Electronic drive-by-wire accelerator requires 5 lbs pedal resistance force. Do not drop this high compression direct injection motor into carbureted vintage vehicles or marine stern drive installations.
- Change break-in motor lubricant and spin-on filter cartridge after 500 initial miles.
- Inspect hydraulic lash adjusters for zero lash seating during upper valvetrain assembly.
- Tighten torque-to-yield cylinder head bolts to 22 ft-lbs plus two passes of 90 degrees.
Standard Crate Manifest Scope
Covered by the verified VEGE assembly standard 3-Year 100,000-mile nationwide warranty, this package arrives strapped inside heavy duty crates. Shipment includes the remanufactured long block, oil pan, front timing cover, composite valve covers, oil pickup tube, and signed dyno certificate.
