VEGE Remanufactured DF08 4.9L 300ci Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Stop severe fleet downtime with the VEGE DF08 Car Truck Long Block Engine. This 4.9L 300ci Inline-6 workhorse produces 150HP for heavy commercial long block repower projects. Fleet mechanics must confirm side engine mount bolt hole depths before securing frame brackets because block casting bosses vary across vehicle model years.

Solid ASTM A48 Class 35 gray iron lines the deep skirt block of this VEGE engine core. A massive nodular iron crankshaft spins across seven main bearing journals to resist crankshaft deflection under severe loads. The 12V starter system draws 170A during winter cold starts. Net weight reads 485 lbs dry inside a 34in length by 22in width by 28in height frame envelope with 5.5 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE DF08

Municipal departments buy VEGE DF08 Car Truck Long Block Engine units to restore delivery chassis during an industrial engine rebuild. Modern multi layer steel gaskets guarantee combustion seals across all inline cylinders.

• Massive 300ci displacement supplies immense low speed rotational force for heavy utility hauling.
• Seven main bearing design isolates crank journal vibration under continuous commercial duty cycles.
• Austenitic stainless steel valves maintain seating face integrity past 1,400°F combustion heat.
• Tri-metal copper lead rod bearings support 0.0016in oil clearances under continuous highway loads.
• The DF08 long block engine incorporates helical valvetrain timing gears that eliminate timing chain stretch.
• Diamond plateau honed cylinder bores ensure instant compression ring seating during initial run hours.
• Stellite faced exhaust seats prevent valve sink during prolonged highway transport routes.

Dyno Verification Shop Limits

Automated test cells evaluate the DF08 commercial core prior to dispatch. Dynamometer readouts record 150 continuous BHP and 260 ft-lbs torque output at 2,000 RPM. Sump oil temperature reads 190°F with main gallery oil pressure holding 55 PSI. Exhaust gas temperatures top out safely at 1,300°F. Dynamic compression checks deliver 170 PSI across all six cylinders with under 4% variance while crank runout measures 0.0002in TIR.

Field Service Protocols Clearance

Accelerator bellcranks operate with 5 lbs applied mechanical linkage pull force. Do not install this long straight-six powertrain into compact cab-over delivery vans lacking 36in front-to-back engine bay clearances.

• Perform engine oil and spin-on lube filter changes every 3,000 miles or 120 run hours.
• Inspect mechanical pushrods and rocker arm pivot balls every 30,000 operating miles.
• Verify cylinder head bolt tension to 85 ft-lbs following initial thermal break in cycles.
