VEGE Remanufactured VDA4 4.7L 287ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Struggling with stripped cylinder threads? Choose the VEGE VDA4 Long Block Engine to execute a dependable commercial long block repower on hard working pickup trucks. This 4.7L 287 cid PowerTech V8 generates 235HP at 4,800 RPM. Technicians must check the reluctor wheel tooth pattern on the crankshaft to verify synchronization with the vehicle powertrain computer.

Solid ASTM A48 Class 35 cast iron shapes the deep skirt 90° V8 engine block. A forged steel crankshaft pairs with sintered metal connecting rods inside this VEGE engine core. Starter draw measures 165A on standard 12V shop circuits. Dry weight scales at 440 lbs across dimensions of 27in length by 26in width by 28in height. Pan capacity holds 6.0 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE VDA4

Auto repair facilities buy VEGE VDA4 Long Block Engine packages to avoid machine shop queues during an industrial engine rebuild project. New valve seats and bronze valve guides guarantee true valve seating across thousands of operating hours.

• Cast aluminum cylinder heads feature optimized port shapes to ensure complete fuel mixture atomization.
• Single overhead camshafts reduce valvetrain reciprocating components to minimize parasitic power draw.
• Hypereutectic aluminum pistons resist thermal ring pinching inside diamond honed cylinder walls.
• The VDA4 commercial core maintains 0.0016in rod bearing oil clearances under heavy dynamometer loads.
• Primary and secondary hydraulic timing chain tensioners maintain accurate cam timing under shock loads.
• Splayed cross bolted main caps lock crankshaft journals into the lower block register.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets clamp down to eliminate combustion bore leakage.

Dynamometer Bench Performance Output Metrics

Dyno validation charts indicate 235HP at 4,800 RPM alongside 295 ft-lbs torque at 3,200 RPM for this VDA4 long block engine. Pressure transducers indicate 50 PSI oil gallery pressure at 2,000 RPM with oil sump temperature held at 195°F. Compression testing demonstrates 175 PSI per cylinder with variance under 4%. Crankshaft dial indicators verify 0.0003in TIR total runout. Exhaust manifolds record steady 1,220°F temperatures during full load testing.

Field Installation Preventative Maintenance Directives

Mechanical throttle cable connections require 4 lbs pull force to sweep from idle stop to wide open throttle. Installers must avoid this heavy duty replacement engine for vehicle chassis lacking electronic transmission controllers or vehicles running blocked radiator cores.

• Discard break in oil after 500 miles or 30 hours then fill with 5W-30 motor oil.
• Inspect cam tone wheel alignment through sensor bore before final engine electrical connection.
• Torque cylinder head bolts in three stages up to 90 ft-lbs following initial thermal break in.
