Description
Keyless crank timing sprocket slip and PCV separator sludge accumulation disable courier delivery vehicles on multi-stop urban routes. The VEGE Remanufactured DFKM 2.3L 2260cc Premium Grade Long Block Engine eliminates timing slip through an industrial engine rebuild. This 2.3L 4-Cylinder DOHC build produces 155HP, but mechanics must verify diamond friction washer placement on the crank.
Cast from ASTM A319 aluminum alloy with cast-in iron liners, this VEGE engine core houses a 16-valve aluminum head and an induction-hardened forged steel crankshaft. Starter draw demands 145A on 12V circuits. Total dry weight measures 255 lbs within 22in length, 21in width, 24in height dimensions holding 4.5 quarts oil.
Key Features of VEGE DFKM
Transit fleet buyers purchase VEGE Remanufactured DFKM 2.3L 2260cc Premium Grade Long Block Engine units to maintain reliable courier vehicles without costly capital vehicle investments. Diamond-impregnated micro-washers sandwiched between timing gears maintain precise crankshaft synchronization under sudden downshift deceleration forces.
- Engine displacement measures 2260cc across a 3.445in bore and 3.701in stroke crankshaft stroke.
- Diamond-coated friction washers lock the keyless crankshaft timing components to prevent timing drift.
- Dual overhead camshaft architecture provides rapid throttle response across urban traffic speeds.
- Cast-in iron cylinder liners maintain bore roundness under severe continuous engine temperatures.
- DFKM commercial core precision line-boring guarantees true crankshaft journal rotation under heavy loads.
- Hydraulic valve buckets provide silent valvetrain operation without frequent shim adjustments.
- Tri-metal copper-lead rod bearings absorb micro-debris particles to prevent crankshaft scoring.
Dyno Test Cell Metrics
Hot bench runs measure performance parameters on each DFKM long block engine before dispatch. The DOHC four-cylinder develops 155HP at 5800 RPM alongside 152 ft-lbs torque at 4000 RPM. Sump oil gallery pressure stabilizes at 50 PSI at 195°F operating temperature. Cylinder compression gauges show 180 PSI across all ports with 3% variance. Crankshaft runout checks at 0.0003in TIR. Dynamic exhaust gas temp stabilizes at 1240°F under dyno loading.
Bay Constraints Maintenance Schedules
Electronic throttle pedal pull resistance checks out at 4 lbs force. This DOHC four-cylinder engine is NOT designed for turbocharged Mazdaspeed applications, longitudinal rear-wheel-drive truck chassis, or machinery running non-synthetic engine oils.
- Perform break-in oil and filter changes following the initial 500 miles of highway driving.
- Inspect crankshaft pulley bolt torque using factory angle-yield protocol after initial dyno runs.
- Check cam cover perimeter fastener torque to 89 in-lbs following initial temperature cycles.
Factory Guarantee Crate Inclusions
Protected under the dependable VEGE assembly standard, this remanufactured unit features a 3-Year 100,000-mile commercial warranty. The sturdy transport crate contains the long block engine, oil pan, valve covers, timing cover, oil pump with screen, and signed quality inspection sheet.
