VEGE DCW7 3.1L 189ci Premium Grade Long Block Remanufactured Crate Engine

Description

Meet regional passenger sedan emission standards with the VEGE DCW7 Remanufactured Crate Engine premium long block package. Displacing 3.1L across 189ci in a sixty-degree V6 layout, this motor generates 140 BHP at 4800 RPM and 180 lb-ft torque at 3600 RPM. Engineered for multi-port fuel injection, it repowers passenger vehicles while eliminating coolant leaks and valvetrain noise.

A rigid cast iron sixty-degree V6 engine block features precision decked surfaces with a 3.50-inch cylinder bore and 3.31-inch stroke. The rotating group incorporates a balanced nodular iron crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and premium hypereutectic aluminum pistons. Cylinder pressure achieves an 8.9:1 compression ratio for regular fuel operation. A 4.0-quart steel wet sump oil pan ensures steady oil pickup. Total dressed dry weight checks in at 330 lbs for balanced chassis handling.

Key Features of VEGE DCW7

Discerning passenger car owners buy VEGE DCW7 crate engine units to cure lower intake manifold coolant leaks and valvetrain chatter in front-wheel-drive sedans and wagons. Each premium remanufactured long block features upgraded multi-layer steel head gaskets, micro-finished bearing journals, and blueprinted clearances for extended operation.

• 3.50-inch cylinder bores receive plateau honing to seat piston rings fast.
• Overhead valve pushrod valvetrain provides twelve valves of high-torque low-RPM induction.
• 43.6mm intake valves and 38mm exhaust valves promote efficient cylinder scavenging.
• 48cc combustion chambers optimize flame propagation when burning regular 87-octane pump fuel.
• Multi-layer steel head gaskets prevent fluid weeping across cylinder head deck surfaces.
• Hydraulic roller lifters inside the VEGE DCW7 valvetrain maintain quiet valve action.
• Precision balanced crankshaft reduces harmonic vibration transmitted through chassis crossmembers.
• Stamped steel oil pan clears front subframe crossmembers and steering linkages.

Combustion Dynamics Dyno Output Specs

The power band spans from 1,000 to 5,200 RPM for confident highway merging. Peak output reaches 140 brake horsepower at 4,800 RPM alongside 180 lb-ft torque at 3,600 RPM. Camshaft duration measures 196 degrees on intake and 202 degrees on exhaust at 0.050-inch lift, alongside 0.405-inch valve lift. The motor runs clean on standard 87-octane regular pump unleaded gasoline. Manifold vacuum measures 19.5 in-Hg at a smooth 700 RPM idle. Operating oil pressure regulates between 40 and 65 PSI at 2,400 cruising RPM.

Drivetrain Interface Engine Bay Clearance

The rear bellhousing pattern aligns flush to transverse front-wheel-drive manual transaxles and automatic transmission cases. An internal neutral balance crank flange connects straight to production flywheels or torque converter flexplates. Factory engine mount brackets line up with chassis rubber isolators, preserving three inches of clearance to steering racks and radiator fans.

Break-In Protocol Maintenance Parameters

Pre-lube all engine oil passages with a pressurized tank before initial engine startup to protect journal bearings. Fill the crankcase with SAE 10W-30 mineral break-in oil and purge air from the cooling circuit. This pushrod V6 motor is not engineered for turbocharging exceeding 5 PSI boost, track racing, or unmetered nitrous oxide injection.

• Run motor at 2,000 RPM for 20 minutes to bed in camshaft friction surfaces.
• Drain initial break-in oil and install a fresh oil filter after the first 500 miles.
• Change synthetic crankcase oil and inspect all coolant hoses every 3,000 miles.

Verified Warranty Physical Crate Manifest

A 36-Month / 100,000-Mile nationwide limited warranty provides long-term mechanical protection against defects. The heavy transport crate contains the remanufactured long block, stamped steel oil pan, aluminum timing cover, harmonic damper, stamped valve covers, oil pressure verification report, and an installation instruction handbook.
