VEGE Remanufactured DFZR 3.8L 232ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Fire ring compression blowouts and timing cover water pump erosion disable commercial transport vans mid-route. The VEGE Remanufactured DFZR 3.8L 232ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine cures recurring head gasket breaches through an industrial engine rebuild. This 3.8L V6 build develops 155HP, requiring installers to inspect front timing cover coolant passage corrosion.

Constructed around an ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron block, this VEGE engine core utilizes remanufactured aluminum heads, a counter-rotating balance shaft, and a nodular iron crankshaft. Cold starter draw pulls 150A at 12V. Dry engine weight measures 360 lbs across 24in length, 23in width, 25in height dimensions holding 4.5 quarts oil.

Key Features of VEGE DFZR

Transit supervisors buy VEGE Remanufactured DFZR 3.8L 232ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine packages to keep service vans in reliable fleet circulation. Upgraded multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets prevent fire ring combustion leaks under protracted uphill trailer hauling loads.

• Displacement spans 232ci utilizing a 3.810in bore and 3.390in stroke rotating group.
• Multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets prevent combustion fire ring blowouts under highway loads.
• Internal counter-rotating balance shaft cancels secondary engine shake to extend front mount life.
• Hydraulic roller lifters provide quiet valvetrain operation under stop-and-go delivery cycles.
• DFZR commercial core precision line-boring guarantees true crankshaft journal rotation under heavy loads.
• Cast aluminum pistons maintain exact skirt clearance to stop cylinder bore scuffing under load.
• Double roller timing chain sets prevent camshaft synchronization drift across severe duty cycles.

Hot Cell Verification Data

Test cell runs record vital data on every DFZR long block engine before dispatch. The Essex V6 engine produces 155HP at 4400 RPM and 215 ft-lbs torque at 2800 RPM. Hot oil gallery pressure holds 50 PSI at 195°F fluid temperature. Compression gauges show 170 PSI across all six cylinders within 4% variance. Crankshaft main journal runout checks at 0.0003in TIR. Dynamic exhaust gas temp peaks at 1230°F under dyno loading.

Bay Constraints Maintenance Schedules

Mechanical throttle linkage pull resistance checks out at 4 lbs force. This pushrod V6 engine is NOT compatible with modular V8 chassis mountings, high-boost supercharger kits, or vehicles equipped with early single-belt accessory brackets.

• Drain break-in motor oil and renew the filter element after 500 highway transit miles.
• Inspect balance shaft drive gear lash and front oil seal after 100 operational hours.
• Check cylinder head bolt torque down to factory angle-yield specifications following initial run cycles.

Verified Warranty Crate Manifest
