VEGE Remanufactured DFHJ 2.3L 140ci Compact Car Long Block Engine

Description

Stripped cogged timing belt teeth and worn camshaft slider followers trigger abrupt valvetrain clatter in light delivery fleets. The VEGE Remanufactured DFHJ Compact Car Long Block Engine eliminates recurring cylinder head failure during a commercial long block repower overhaul. This 2.3L 140ci 4-Cylinder OHC powerplant outputs 100HP. Technicians must verify auxiliary shaft thrust clearance before timing cover installation.

Thick wall ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron forms the cast iron engine block and overhead cam cylinder head. A precision ground nodular iron crankshaft spins on bi-metal aluminum bearings inside this VEGE engine build. Cold cranking draws 135A through standard 12V starter circuits. Total dry unrigged weight reaches 310 lbs within dimensions of 23in length, 22in width, 25in height. The stamped steel sump holds 4.5 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured DFHJ

Fleet supervisors buy VEGE Remanufactured DFHJ Compact Car Long Block Engine units to restore reliable service route operations. Every industrial engine rebuild pairs upgraded hydraulic lash posts with resurfaced heads to guarantee thousands of trouble free route miles.

• Single overhead camshaft lobes open valves with minimal mechanical friction losses across city routes.
• 0.0012in rod journal clearances preserve protective hydrodynamic oil films under continuous suburban delivery cycles.
• Induction hardened exhaust valve seats stop pocket sink when running low octane unleaded fuel.
• The DFHJ commercial core features new auxiliary shaft bushings that stabilize internal oil pump drives.
• Multi layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain fire ring seal integrity under elevated engine temperatures.
• Plateau honed cylinder walls allow cast iron compression rings to seat fast without wall scuffing.
• Hardened steel timing sprockets eliminate belt tooth slippage across sudden deceleration downshifts.

Dynamometer Testing Operational Boundaries

Shop dynamometer sweeps measure this DFHJ long block engine at 100 BHP and 135 ft-lbs of torque at 3000 RPM continuous test loading. Main gallery oil pressures register 45 PSI at 190°F oil pan thermal stabilization. Exhaust runner probes reach 1180°F during sustained continuous test runs on the water brake absorber unit. Dynamic compression testing displays 175 PSI across all four cylinders within 3% balance across the block. Crankshaft center journal runout measures under 0.0002in TIR to avoid bearing babbit wear under load.

Field Usability Shop Guidelines

Throttle body linkage cables require 3 lbs of return spring pull to ensure complete throttle closure at idle. This 2.3L four cylinder engine is NOT intended for turbocharged track racing platforms, marine inboard pleasure craft, or heavy commercial dump trucks.

• Drain break-in motor lubricant and replace the spin-on filter element at 500 miles or 30 operating hours.
• Hydraulic lash posts maintain valvetrain clearance with zero manual screw lash adjustment procedures.
• Torque cylinder head fasteners in proper progressive sequence using specified angle rotation gauges without hot retorque passes.

Crated Delivery Warranty Scope

Remanufactured in compliance with the VEGE assembly standard, this compact long block carries a 3-Year 100,000-mile parts warranty. The timber freight box holds the assembled long block, stamped steel oil pan, front timing cover, stamped valve cover, pickup tube screen, and signed dynamometer quality checklist.
