VEGE 709C 2.2L 2212cc Car Truck Long Block Remanufactured Crate Engine

Description

Meet fifty-state vehicle emissions criteria with the VEGE 709C Remanufactured Crate Engine long block package. This 2.2L 2212cc horizontally opposed boxer motor generates 135 BHP at 5400 RPM and 137 lb-ft torque at 4400 RPM. Designed for all-wheel-drive passenger sedans and light wagons, this remanufactured unit restores factory balance, smooth power delivery, and clean tailpipe emissions.

A split-case aluminum alloy block casting features cast iron cylinder liners bored to 3.82 inches and stroked to 2.95 inches. The rotating group incorporates a forged steel nitrided crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and hypereutectic aluminum pistons. Cylinder pressure achieves a 9.5:1 compression ratio for regular fuel operation. A 4.2-quart steel oil pan maintains oil feed under hard acceleration. Dry engine mass checks in at 265 lbs, preserving low vehicle center-of-gravity handling.

Key Features of VEGE 709C

All-wheel-drive wagon owners buy VEGE 709C crate engine packages to cure head gasket weeping and wrist pin knock in aging flat-four engines. Line-bored main tunnels and resurfaced head decks ensure leak-free seal performance across extended highway trips.

• 3.82-inch cylinder bores receive plateau honing to seat piston rings fast.
• Horizontally opposed four-cylinder layout cancels primary and secondary reciprocating vibrations without balance shafts.
• Single overhead camshaft per head controls four valves per cylinder for efficient breathing.
• 52cc combustion chambers eliminate detonation knock when running standard unleaded fuel.
• Multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets seal combustion fire rings under all temperature extremes.
• Hydraulic valve lifters in the VEGE 709C valvetrain package eliminate manual valve adjustment schedules.
• Nitrided forged steel crankshaft resists fatigue stress under heavy all-wheel-drive loads.
• Stamped steel oil pan clears front crossmembers on all-wheel-drive subframes.

Combustion Dynamics Dyno Output Specs

The power curve delivers smooth output across a 1,200 to 6,000 RPM range. Peak dynamometer figures register 135 brake horsepower at 5,400 RPM alongside 137 lb-ft torque at 4,400 RPM. The camshaft profile provides 204 degrees intake duration and 200 degrees exhaust duration at 0.050-inch lift, alongside 0.335-inch valve lift. The motor runs on standard 87-octane regular pump unleaded fuel. Manifold vacuum measures 19 in-Hg at a steady 700 RPM idle. Cruising oil pressure holds between 45 and 65 PSI at 3,000 RPM.

Drivetrain Interface Engine Bay Clearance

The rear bellhousing flange mates straight to longitudinal all-wheel-drive manual and automatic transmission cases. An internal neutral balance crank flange connects to original flywheels or torque converters. Low-profile boxer cylinder heads sit low between front frame rails, leaving three inches of clearance beneath the hood and behind the radiator core.

Break-In Protocol Maintenance Parameters

Pre-lube all engine oil passages with a pressurized tank before starting the motor to coat crank journals. Fill the crankcase with SAE 10W-30 mineral break-in oil and burp all cooling air from the boxer cooling jackets. This atmospheric boxer motor is not engineered for turbocharging exceeding 5 PSI boost, dry-sump racing, or nitrous oxide induction.

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