VEGE Remanufactured DFTR 6.8L 415ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Stop severe fleet downtime with the VEGE DFTR Premium Grade Long Block Engine. This 6.8L 415ci V10 powerplant produces 310HP for heavy commercial long block repower assignments. Technicians must check balance shaft drive gear alignment and timing cover bolt lengths before final assembly because front cover revisions feature specific bolt shoulder steps.

Solid ASTM A48 Class 35 gray iron lines the deep skirt block on this VEGE remanufactured long block. A micro-polished forged steel crankshaft spins inside cross-bolted main bearing caps for maximum structural integrity. The 12V starter system draws 190A during winter cold starts. Net weight reads 640 lbs dry within physical dimensions of 32in length by 28in width by 29in height holding 7.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE DFTR

Fleet directors buy VEGE DFTR Premium Grade Long Block Engine packages to eliminate workshop backlog during an industrial engine rebuild. Quality control technicians inspect main journal bore roundness with digital air bore gauges.

• Large 415ci displacement supplies exceptional pulling force across mountainous haul routes.
• Single overhead camshaft design eliminates pushrods and reduces moving valvetrain mass.
• High alloy stainless steel valves resist oxidation under continuous heavy hauling temperatures.
• Tri-metal copper lead rod bearings support 0.0016in oil clearances under continuous highway load cycles.
• The DFTR commercial core features high tensile connecting rod bolts torqued to specification.
• Precision ground pistons include anti-friction skirts to minimize bore friction under high loads.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets eliminate combustion gas blow by between paired cylinder bores.

Dyno Verification Shop Limits

Automated test cells evaluate the DFTR long block engine before shipping. The dynamometer records 310 continuous BHP and 425 ft-lbs torque output at 3,000 RPM. Sump oil temperature reads 195°F with main gallery oil pressure holding 58 PSI. Exhaust gas temperature peaks safely at 1,360°F under simulated hill climbing. Cylinder compression gauges show 185 PSI per cylinder with under 3% variance while crank runout stays within 0.0003in TIR.

Field Usability Operator Rules

Throttle quadrant linkages actuate with 4.5 lbs applied pulling force across the quadrant. Do not install this modular V10 platform into cab-over vans that restrict access to top valve cover fasteners.

• Perform fluid and spin-on filter changes at strict 4,000-mile or 140 run hours service marks.
• Inspect cam timing chains and composite guide wear every 50,000 operating miles.
• Retorque cylinder head fasteners during major shop overhauls to factory specifications.
