Description

The DFC Long Block Crate Engine proves to be an excellent choice for diesel enthusiasts seeking to replace the worn-out or damaged engine in their 2011-2016 GM 6.6L Duramax LML/LGH. DFC implements crucial enhancements to ensure engine reliability, even in applications with increased horsepower demands. A notable improvement involves equipping every Duramax remanufactured engine with an EDM oil pump shaft featuring a hardened dowel, effectively preventing slippage and reducing the risk of oil pressure loss.

DFC’s commitment to precision is evident through the utilization of Rottler machining equipment, allowing for tolerances that are tighter and more precise than OEM specifications. To maintain consistent high-quality standards, DFC selects only the best cores and rejects components requiring extensive restoration. This meticulous remanufacturing process contributes to the exceptional durability and reliability of DFC’s Long Block Crate Engine.

Engine Remanufacturing

The DFC short block is machined with near identical weight piston and connecting rod assemblies to help you get a smoother running engine that makes less noise and is more balanced.  DFC short blocks include reinforced internals with new pistons, rings, doweled oil pump, bearings, and rods.

Cylinder Head

Unlike some other engine builders in the industry that re-use wearing items like valves and valves guides, DFC installs all new valves from high quality sources like MAHLE or SBI and replaces each valve guide with a new cast guide in every cylinder head. To address common cracking areas in the cylinder head, DFC also machines each head to remove the factory hardened seat material. DFC then installs new SBI valve seats to help eliminate premature cracking, giving you a more durable cylinder head.

DFC engines are remanufactured by diesel enthusiasts for diesel enthusiasts. DFC stands behind their products with one of the industry’s leading 5 year 100,000 mile warranty (Non-Commercial).
