VEGE Remanufactured DDH6 3.5L 215ci High Output Long Block Engine

Description

Factory remanufacturing standards establish the VEGE Remanufactured DDH6 Long Block Engine as an exceptional commercial long block repower solution for modern utility fleets. This 3.5L 215 cid V6 engine produces 265HP at 6,250 RPM. Machinists must verify variable valve timing solenoid screen cleanliness before connecting original engine oil feed lines.

Precision cast aluminum alloy forms the 60° deep skirt block case with cast iron cylinder liners. A forged steel crankshaft pairs with forged connecting rods inside this VEGE engine core. Electrical starter motors draw 150A on standard 12V vehicle circuits. Total dry weight measures 350 lbs within dimensions of 24in length by 23in width by 25in height. Sump holds 6.0 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE DDH6

Municipal contractors buy VEGE DDH6 Long Block Engine units to speed up each fleet industrial engine rebuild program. Remanufacturing protocols renew all internal wear surfaces to meet or exceed original equipment tolerances.

• Dual overhead camshafts control four valves per cylinder to maximize intake breathing efficiency.
• Variable valve timing cam phasers advance cam timing across broad operational speed ranges.
• Cast aluminum cylinder heads house stellite faced valves for dependable heat dissipation.
• Hypereutectic pistons resist ring land micro welding under high combustion chamber heat.
• The DDH6 commercial core holds 0.0015in main journal bearing clearances for oil film retention.
• Premium timing chain guides eliminate chain slap under deceleration load states.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets clamp down tightly to eliminate combustion bore leakage.

Dynamometer Bench Validation Load Ratings

Bench testing confirms 265HP at 6,250 RPM along with 250 ft-lbs torque at 4,500 RPM for this DDH6 long block engine. Oil gallery gauges show 50 PSI at 2,000 RPM when oil sump temperatures reach 190°F. Compression testing measures 180 PSI across all six cylinders within 3% balance. Crankshaft journal runout remains under 0.0002in TIR. Exhaust gas temperature sensors record 1,240°F during continuous dynamometer test pulls on 87 octane unleaded fuel.

Field Installation Preventative Maintenance Directives

Drive by wire electronic throttle actuators demand clean electrical ground paths to prevent limp mode faults. Technicians should not install this heavy duty replacement engine into chassis with outdated cooling systems or vehicles lacking computer controls for variable valve timing.

• Drain break in oil after 500 miles or 30 operating hours then install 5W-20 synthetic blend oil.
• Inspect variable cam timing solenoids and clean oil galley filters during initial service.
• Retorque intake plenum bolts to 8 ft-lbs following initial thermal warm up cycles.

Crate Manifest Extended Warranty Coverage

Supported by the rigorous VEGE build standard, this long block carries a 3-Year or 100,000-mile nationwide warranty. The crate packaging holds the assembled long block core, oil pan, timing cover, valve covers, oil pump, plus the factory signed quality inspection report sheet.
