VEGE Remanufactured DFKP 5.4L 330ci Heavy Duty Long Block Engine

Description

Extreme hauling stress mandates the VEGE DFKP Heavy Duty Long Block Engine. This 5.4L 330ci V8 workhorse delivers 260HP for severe duty commercial long block repower needs. Technicians must check exhaust manifold mounting stud threads before installing headers because heat cycling can bind factory steel studs in aluminum cylinder head castings.

ASTM A48 Class 35 gray iron lines the deep skirt block on this VEGE remanufactured long block. A micro alloy forged steel crankshaft uses ground journals to handle extended fleet duty cycles. The 12V starter system draws 180A during winter cold starts. Net weight reads 525 lbs dry within physical dimensions of 29in length by 28in width by 29in height holding 6.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE DFKP

Transit companies buy VEGE DFKP Heavy Duty Long Block Engine packages to avoid fleet downtime during an industrial engine rebuild. Automated hone machines produce plateau finishes that seat piston rings rapidly during break in runs.

• Bore of 3.55in and stroke of 4.16in produce massive low end torque for utility bucket trucks.
• Overhead camshaft architecture delivers efficient valvetrain geometry without pushrod deflection.
• High alloy stainless steel valves resist oxidation under continuous heavy hauling temperatures.
• Hypereutectic pistons control clearance tolerances to prevent piston slap during cold morning starts.
• The DFKP commercial core includes heavy duty connecting rod bolts rated for high tensile loads.
• Full length cooling passages provide uniform heat transfer around all eight combustion chambers.
• Multi layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain combustion seals against continuous cylinder pressures.

Dynamic Dyno Load Evaluation

Dyno testing validates every single DFKP long block engine prior to factory crate packaging. Test cell readouts verify 260 continuous BHP and 350 ft-lbs shaft torque at 2,800 RPM. Hot oil gallery pressure measures 58 PSI at 192°F operating temperature. Exhaust gas sensors confirm heat peaks stay under 1,350°F. Cylinder compression delivers 185 PSI per cylinder with under 3% variance while main crankshaft runout measures 0.0003in TIR.

Shop Deployment Field Upkeep

Electronic throttle actuators move with 4.5 lbs applied tension across full travel. Do not install this modular V8 platform into shallow vehicle engine bays that lack 29in vertical hood clearance.

• Replace lubricating oil and high efficiency oil filters every 4,000 miles or 150 run hours.
• Inspect timing chain tensioner shoe wear every 50,000 miles to verify chain guide alignment.
• Check cylinder head bolt torque clamp loads during scheduled major fleet overhauls.

Commercial Warranty Delivery Manifest

This build adheres to the strict VEGE assembly standard to back your investment on the road. Coverage spans a 3-Year or 100,000-mile limited nationwide commercial parts warranty. The wood pallet crate holds the sealed long block core, stamped steel oil pan, timing cover assembly, cast valve covers, oil pump pickup screen, and certified inspection report sheet.
