VEGE Remanufactured DFAW 4.6L 281ci Platinum Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Camshaft phaser knock and broken two-piece spark plugs cause misfires and check engine codes in commercial fleet vans. The VEGE Remanufactured DFAW Platinum Grade Long Block Engine cures persistent variable cam timing faults during an industrial engine rebuild. This 4.6L 281ci 8-Cylinder SOHC assembly produces 235HP. Technicians must check variable camshaft timing solenoid oil screens before valve cover assembly.

Deep skirt ASTM A48 Class 35 cast iron forms the rigid engine block beneath precision resurfaced aluminum cylinder heads. A micro polished nodular iron crankshaft spins on tri-metal bearings inside this VEGE engine build. Cranking starter draw pulls 165A across standard 12V electrical systems during cold morning starts. Total dry unrigged mass reaches 465 lbs across dimensions of 28in length, 27in width, 27in height. The stamped steel sump holds 6.0 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured DFAW

Fleet directors buy VEGE Remanufactured DFAW Platinum Grade Long Block Engine packages to avoid repetitive vehicle breakdown expenses. Every commercial long block repower integrates upgraded variable cam timing phasers and steel-backed timing guides to ensure durable route operations.

• Upgraded variable camshaft phasers eliminate low RPM timing knock and stabilize valve overlap events.
• Steel backed nylon timing chain guides resist fracturing under severe highway commercial route duty.
• Cross bolted six bolt main bearing caps provide outstanding bottom end crankshaft stability under load.
• The DFAW commercial core features hydraulic roller followers that reduce camshaft friction and wear.
• 0.0014in connecting rod journal clearances maintain protective oil wedge films under continuous thermal loading.
• Plateau honed cylinder walls allow ductile iron rings to seat fast without excessive oil burning.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets maintain positive seal integrity across high cylinder pressures.

Shop Dynamometer Load Verification Data

Dynamometer cell tests rate this DFAW long block engine at 235 BHP and 290 ft-lbs of torque at 4000 RPM continuous test loading. Main oil gallery sensors record 50 PSI at 195°F oil pan thermal stabilization. Exhaust runner probes reach 1220°F during sustained continuous test runs on the water brake absorber unit. Dynamic compression testing displays 180 PSI across all eight cylinders within 3% balance across both cylinder banks. Crankshaft total runout measures under 0.0003in TIR to protect main bearing babbit surfaces under load.

Fleet Installation Protocol Restrictions

Drive-by-wire electronic throttle body plugs snap into connector receptacles with zero manual cable adjustment. This 4.6L V8 engine is NOT intended for transverse front-wheel drive platforms, marine jet drives, or vintage carbureted hot rods lacking electronic ignition controls.

• Flush out initial break-in petroleum motor oil and change the filter at 500 miles or 30 operating hours.
• Hydraulic stationary lash adjusters seat inside cylinder heads with zero manual valve lash adjustments required.
• Torque cylinder head torque-to-yield fasteners using specified angle rotation increments without subsequent hot retorque passes.

Crated Shipment Warranty Provisions
