VEGE DCVW 3.6L 217ci Industrial Grade Long Block Remanufactured Crate Engine

Description

Meet commercial stationary pump emission standards with the VEGE DCVW Remanufactured Crate Engine industrial long block package. Displacing 3.6L across 217ci in an all-aluminum DOHC V6 layout, this motor outputs 240 BHP at 5200 RPM and 250 lb-ft torque at 3200 RPM. Engineered for continuous-load applications, it powers industrial equipment and stationary pumps with durability.

An open-deck cast aluminum sixty-degree V6 block features centrifugally cast iron cylinder liners bored to 3.70 inches and stroked to 3.37 inches. The rotating group incorporates a forged steel crankshaft, heavy-duty connecting rods, and commercial hypereutectic pistons. Cylinder pressure achieves a 10.0:1 compression ratio for continuous commercial operation. An 8.0-quart high-capacity aluminum oil pan maintains continuous oil pickup. Total dry engine weight registers 375 lbs for equipment stability.

Key Features of VEGE DCVW

Industrial equipment managers buy VEGE DCVW crate engine units to keep heavy irrigation pumps and commercial work machinery operating without equipment manufacturer price markups. Line-bored main bearing saddles, hardened valve seats, and precision ground journals guarantee continuous commercial duty cycle operation.

• 3.70-inch cylinder bores feature diamond plateau honing to seat piston rings fast.
• Dual overhead camshaft valvetrain delivers twenty-four valves of high-volume airflow.
• Hardened stellite valve seats prevent recession during continuous heavy combustion cycles.
• 50cc combustion chambers optimize thermal efficiency when burning commercial pump fuel.
• Multi-layer steel head gaskets halt fluid weeping under continuous high operating temperatures.
• Hydraulic lash adjusters with roller followers inside the VEGE DCVW heads maintain quiet valve action.
• Upgraded timing chain sets prevent premature cam phase correlation errors.
• Deep-sump oil pan ensures adequate lubrication reserves during extended operational shifts.

Combustion Dynamics Dyno Output Specs

This industrial engine operates steadily between 800 and 5,400 RPM. Peak continuous output achieves 240 brake horsepower at 5,200 RPM alongside 250 lb-ft torque at 3,200 RPM. Camshaft duration measures 200 degrees on intake and 204 degrees on exhaust at 0.050-inch lift, alongside 0.395-inch valve lift. The motor runs on standard 87-octane pump unleaded gasoline or propane conversions. Manifold vacuum measures 19.5 in-Hg at a 700 RPM governor idle. Operating oil pressure regulates between 40 and 65 PSI at governed working speeds.

Drivetrain Interface Engine Bay Clearance

The rear casing matches standard GM transmission bellhousing patterns and SAE commercial pump mount flanges. An internal neutral balance crank flange connects straight to production drive plates or flywheels. Rigid mounting pad locations align with heavy steel frame brackets, preserving four inches of clearance to hydraulic coolers and exhaust shrouds.

Break-In Protocol Maintenance Parameters

Pre-lube all internal oil passages using an external pressure reservoir prior to starting the engine. Fill the crankcase with SAE 15W-40 heavy-duty mineral break-in lubricant and bleed all cooling system passages. This industrial motor is not engineered for automotive turbocharger conversions, high-speed drag applications, or unmetered nitrous oxide injection.

• Run motor at 1,800 RPM for 30 minutes under no-load conditions to bed in piston rings.
• Drain initial break-in lubricant and install a fresh oil filter after the first 50 operating hours.
• Change crankcase oil and inspect air intake filtration every 250 operating hours.

Verified Warranty Physical Crate Manifest

A 12-Month / 2,000-Hour commercial industrial limited warranty provides mechanical protection against manufacturing defects. The reinforced shipping crate contains the remanufactured long block, heavy-duty oil pan, aluminum timing cover, front crank hub, cast aluminum valve covers, dynamometer test report, and an equipment setup manual.
