- 36-Month Warranty limits expensive mechanic labor
Description
Flat-tappet camshaft lobe rounding and rear main seal flywheel balance errors disappear after installing the VEGE Remanufactured VC01 5.7L Long Block Engine. Delivering 210HP from a 350ci 8-Cylinder commercial long block repower layout, this engine powers fleet utility trucks. Installers must match flywheel counterweight balance configurations to the one-piece rear crankshaft seal flange prior to bellhousing alignment.
Cast from heavy ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron, the engine block provides rigid cylinder barrel stability across continuous hauling duty. The VEGE engine core employs induction-hardened nodular iron camshaft journals paired with stellite-faced exhaust valves. Starter current demands 12V 175A draw under load. Total dry weight measures 455 lbs across a 28in length, 26in width, 27in height mounting stance holding 5.0 quarts oil capacity.
Key Features of VEGE VC01
Commercial transport fleets buy VEGE VC01 commercial long block assemblies to end chronic ignition misfire across aging fleet cargo vans. Dedicated technicians execute certified industrial engine rebuild standards during each assembly phase.
- Nodular cast iron crankshaft maintains 0.0003in TIR total indicated runout across all main bearing journals.
- Heavy-duty flat tappet camshaft profiles eliminate premature lobe wear under severe commercial idle periods.
- Diamond-honed iron cylinder sleeves establish immediate compression ring seal during initial break-in running.
- Precision CNC surfaced block decks yield 0.0002in flatness to preserve cylinder head fire ring integrity.
- High-volume internal oil pump sustains 50 PSI line pressure across demanding fleet highway duty.
- VC01 commercial core casting includes reinforced main bearing web bulkheads to arrest chassis vibration.
- Tri-metal copper-lead bearings deliver 0.0015in clearance to control severe hydrodynamic bearing stress.
Dynamometer Calibration Bench Load Data
Automated test cells indicate 210 continuous BHP and 300 ft-lbs torque output at 4000 RPM continuous sweep testing. Instrumentation logs 52 PSI oil gallery pressure at 195°F oil sump temperature, while exhaust gas temp records 1220°F under dyno pull. Gauge checks verify 175 PSI compression across all eight cylinders within 4% variance. Center journal deflection clocks at 0.0003in TIR on the VC01 long block engine.
Field Service Directives Maintenance Rules
Mechanical throttle lever operation takes 5 lbs pull force through the linkage bracket assembly. This motor is NOT engineered for transverse front-wheel drive car platforms or marine bilge environments. Certified technicians must carry out standardized shop procedures during initial checkout.
- Drain break-in crankcase oil supply and replace filter element at 500 miles.
- Set hydraulic lifter preload depth between 0.030in and 0.040in before valve cover installation.
- Verify cylinder head bolt tension values following manufacturer sequences after 50 operating hours.
Warranty Statement Crate Manifest Contents
All rebuilding procedures meet strict VEGE assembly standard metrics covered by a 3-Year 100,000-mile warranty. The banded transport pallet holds the assembled long block, steel oil pan, aluminum timing cover, composite valve covers, oil pickup screen, and verified dyno run card.
