VEGE Remanufactured VC04 5.0L 305ci Compact Car Long Block Engine

Description

Prevent persistent crankcase blow-by with the VEGE VC04 Compact Car Long Block Engine. This 5.0L 305ci V8 plant produces 170HP for fleet vehicles executing a commercial long block repower. Fleet mechanics must check flywheel bolt circle diameter on the rear flange before bellhousing attachment because balance configurations vary between small block iterations.

Solid pearlitic gray iron provides block structural integrity for this VEGE engine core. A cast nodular iron crankshaft runs inside micro-bored saddles to ensure quiet running over thousands of duty miles. Starter motor draw reads 170A on 12V circuits. Total dry weight measures 485 lbs across bed dimensions of 29in length by 26in width by 27in height with 5.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE VC04

Transit companies buy VEGE VC04 Compact Car Long Block Engine assemblies to keep service fleets moving during an industrial engine rebuild. Quality control technicians verify valve seat concentricity using digital vacuum decay sensors.

• Compact 305ci displacement provides optimal thermal efficiency for municipal service vehicles.
• Induction hardened valve seats resist fuel recession over thousands of continuous duty hours.
• Stellite faced exhaust valves stop seat face erosion under lean fuel mixture burning conditions.
• Precision aluminum pistons control thermal expansion to prevent bore scuffing during cold mornings.
• The VC04 long block engine incorporates heavy duty valve springs to prevent valve bounce.
• High flow oil pumps ensure instantaneous pressurized oil delivery to rocker assemblies on start up.
• Multi layer head gaskets eliminate combustion gas blow by between paired cylinder bores.

Dynamic Dyno Load Tolerances

Shop dyno runs verify the mechanical capacity of the VC04 commercial core. The dynamometer records 170 continuous BHP along with 255 ft-lbs torque output at 2,800 RPM. Hot gallery oil pressure indicates 52 PSI at 188°F sump oil temperature. Exhaust gas probes measure 1,300°F under simulated highway cruising. Bores generate 175 PSI compression with under 3% variance while crankshaft runout stays within 0.0002in TIR.

Shop Deployment Field Upkeep

Carburetor or throttle body cable linkages require 4.5 lbs actuation pull force. Do not install this standard displacement small block V8 into marine vessels without swapping brass core freeze plugs into block coolant ports.

• Change motor oil and replace spin-on oil filters every 3,000 miles or 120 operating hours.
• Inspect hydraulic lifter adjustment every 30,000 miles checking rocker arm torque.
• Confirm cylinder head bolt torque at 65 ft-lbs after the initial 50 operating hours.

Warranty Assurances Crate Inventory

Precision craftsmanship aligns with the established VEGE assembly standard to maximize commercial service intervals. Purchase includes a 3-Year or 100,000-mile commercial limited parts warranty. The wood crate package contains the inspected long block engine, oil pan, front timing casing, stamped valve covers, oil pickup screen, and certified dynamometer inspection certificate.
