VEGE Remanufactured DFHM 2.3L 140ci Multi Purpose Long Block Engine

Description

Cogged timing belt tooth shear and distributor gear wear stall commercial courier vans during morning deliveries. The VEGE Remanufactured DFHM 2.3L 140ci Multi Purpose Long Block Engine eliminates abrupt valvetrain stoppage through an industrial engine rebuild. This 2.3L 4-Cylinder SOHC build makes 100HP, requiring technicians to inspect auxiliary shaft thrust plate clearance before timing belt tensioning.

Using an ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron block, this VEGE engine core houses a remanufactured iron cylinder head and a nodular iron crankshaft. Starter draw demands 140A at 12V. Dry weight scales at 305 lbs within 24in length, 22in width, 24in height dimensions holding 4.0 quarts oil.

Key Features of VEGE DFHM

Fleet operators buy VEGE Remanufactured DFHM 2.3L 140ci Multi Purpose Long Block Engine assemblies to keep proven delivery vehicles in revenue service without modern electronic retrofits. Precision-ground camshaft lobes optimize low-speed engine torque to navigate congested municipal delivery routes with minimal fuel consumption.

• Bore diameter measures 3.780in paired with a 3.126in stroke to optimize commercial engine durability.
• Single overhead camshaft design eliminates pushrod flex while maintaining valvetrain stability.
• Hydraulic lash adjusters provide zero-maintenance valvetrain operation across vehicle service life.
• Precision diamond-honed cylinder walls establish immediate compression ring seal without oil consumption.
• DFHM commercial core line-honing ensures true main bearing bore alignment across the block.
• Cast aluminum pistons maintain exact skirt clearance to stop cold piston slap noise.
• Hardened steel auxiliary shaft gear teeth resist wear from continuous oil pump drive loads.

Hot Cell Verification Data

Hot test protocols record vital statistics on every DFHM long block engine before dispatch. The assembly generates 100HP at 4600 RPM alongside 135 ft-lbs torque at 2600 RPM. Sump oil gallery pressure stabilizes at 50 PSI at 190°F operating temperature. Cylinder compression gauges show 170 PSI across all ports with 3% variance. Crankshaft runout checks at 0.0002in TIR. Dynamic exhaust gas temp stabilizes at 1220°F under dyno loading.

Operational Exclusions Setup Protocols

Throttle linkage pull requires 4 lbs force. This four-cylinder Lima overhead cam unit is NOT designed for turbocharged conversions, transverse front-wheel-drive passenger car frames, or equipment operating without functional coolant thermostat regulation.

• Perform break-in oil and filter changes following the initial 500 miles of highway driving.
• Inspect timing belt tracking and belt tensioner pulley drag after 100 operating hours.
• Check cam cover perimeter fastener torque to 8 ft-lbs following initial thermal cycles.

Commercial Protection Included Hardware

Built under strict VEGE assembly standard protocols, this remanufactured powertrain includes a 3-Year 100,000-mile commercial warranty. Uncrating reveals the remanufactured long block core, oil pan, timing cover, valve cover, oil pump pickup screen, and certified test sheet.
