VEGE DCVX 3.6L 217ci Platinum Grade Long Block Remanufactured Crate Engine

Description

Haul cross-state passenger highway miles using the VEGE DCVX Remanufactured Crate Engine platinum grade long block package. Displacing 3.6L across 217ci in a sixty-degree V6 layout, this motor generates 260 BHP at 6500 RPM and 252 lb-ft torque at 3200 RPM. Designed for variable valve timing, it repowers passenger sedans and crossovers with factory efficiency.

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, forged connecting rods, and premium hypereutectic aluminum alloy pistons. Cylinder pressure achieves a 10.2:1 compression ratio for regular fuel operation. A 6.0-quart aluminum wet sump oil pan ensures steady oil pickup. Total dry engine weight registers 370 lbs for balanced chassis handling.

Key Features of VEGE DCVX

Discerning vehicle owners buy VEGE DCVX crate engine units to cure timing chain stretch issues and valvetrain chatter in modern passenger sedans and crossovers. Each premium remanufactured long block features upgraded multi-layer steel head gaskets, micro-finished bearing journals, and upgraded timing components for extended service life.

• 3.70-inch cylinder bores feature diamond plateau honing to seat piston rings fast.
• Dual overhead camshaft valvetrain controls twenty-four valves for superior airflow balance.
• 37mm intake valves and 31mm exhaust valves promote efficient cylinder scavenging.
• 50cc 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 lash adjusters with roller followers inside the VEGE DCVX heads maintain quiet valve action.
• Upgraded timing chain sets prevent premature cam phase correlation errors.
• Stamped steel oil pan clears front subframe crossmembers and steering linkages.

Combustion Dynamics Dyno Output Specs

The power band spans from 1,000 to 6,600 RPM for confident highway merging. Peak output reaches 260 brake horsepower at 6,500 RPM alongside 252 lb-ft torque at 3,200 RPM. Camshaft duration measures 206 degrees on intake and 208 degrees on exhaust at 0.050-inch lift, alongside 0.410-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 2,600 cruising RPM.

Drivetrain Interface Engine Bay Clearance

The rear bellhousing pattern aligns flush to transverse front-wheel-drive and longitudinal rear-wheel-drive automatic transmissions. An internal neutral balance crank flange connects straight to production torque converter flexplates. Factory cast aluminum engine mount brackets line up with chassis rubber isolators, preserving three inches of clearance beneath the vehicle hood structure.

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 5W-30 mineral break-in oil and purge air from the cooling circuit. This aluminum 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
