VEGE Remanufactured DFFP3 3.5L 213ci Elite Series Long Block Engine

Description

Camshaft phaser chatter and head gasket weepage cause chronic power loss in executive fleet transit vehicles. The VEGE Remanufactured DFFP3 Elite Series Long Block Engine eliminates timing misalignment during a commercial long block repower project. This 3.5L 213ci 6-Cylinder DOHC powerplant outputs 285HP. Technicians must check variable cam timing solenoid oil screens prior to upper intake assembly.

Die cast A356 aluminum with cast iron cylinder sleeves forms the open deck engine case. Dual overhead camshafts spin inside precision resurfaced aluminum cylinder heads within this VEGE commercial core. Electrical starter units draw 150A across standard 12V starter circuits. Dry unrigged weight registers 370 lbs within proportions of 25in length, 26in width, 27in height. The cast aluminum oil sump holds 6.0 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured DFFP3

Commercial operators buy VEGE Remanufactured DFFP3 Elite Series Long Block Engine units to restore refined passenger fleet performance. Every industrial engine rebuild pairs upgraded variable timing sprockets with balanced rotating assemblies to ensure smooth highway operation.

• Variable cam timing phasers adjust intake and exhaust valve timing for broad power curves.
• 0.0014in rod journal clearances preserve protective hydrodynamic oil films under high thermal stress.
• Dual overhead camshaft architecture utilizes four valves per cylinder for superior airflow efficiency.
• The DFFP3 commercial core features diamond resurfaced deck faces to halt combustion gas seepage.
• Plateau honed cylinder liners seat ductile iron piston rings fast to control oil consumption.
• Hardened steel timing chain sets resist stretch and maintain exact camshaft synchronization.
• Multi layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain positive seal integrity under continuous load.

Shop Dynamometer Load Verification Data

Shop dynamometer testing validates this DFFP3 long block engine at 285 BHP and 253 ft-lbs of torque at 4000 RPM. Internal oil gallery pressure sensors report 50 PSI at 195°F oil pan thermal stabilization. Exhaust runner thermocouple probes measure 1240°F during continuous test runs on the water brake absorber unit. Cylinder compression gauges verify 190 PSI across all six cylinders within 3% balance across both cylinder banks. Total crankshaft runout measures under 0.0002in TIR to avoid premature main bearing shell wear under load.

Vehicle Integration Shop Guidelines

Electronic throttle wire connectors plug into throttle body brackets with zero pull cable tension. This transverse DOHC V6 powerplant is NOT engineered for longitudinal rear-wheel drive pickup trucks, marine pleasure hulls, or carbureted agricultural power units.

• Drain break-in motor lubricant and replace the spin-on filter element at 500 miles or 30 operating hours.
• Stationary hydraulic bucket tappets operate with zero manual valve lash adjustment steps on overhead cam towers.
• Torque cylinder head torque-to-yield fasteners using specified angle rotation increments without subsequent hot retorque passes.
