# 1546517 Spacer Sleeve | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta spacer sleeve is a replaceable locating, spacing or bearing-support component used in the inlet and exhaust manifold installation. It is manufactured to the original Volvo Penta dimensions and interface requirements so the supported component retains the specified clearance, spacing and location. In service, it maintains the specified spacing and clamping geometry in the manifold installation. Fitment is controlled by the exact engine or product configuration and serialised parts list; confirm OEM number 1546517 against the installed assembly before ordering.

## 🔌 Function

The spacer sleeve maintains a fixed, controlled distance between a mounted component and its fastener or bracket, preventing over-compression when the joint is torqued. It also helps hold correct alignment and load distribution through the bolted assembly.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Crushing, deformation or shortening of the sleeve leading to loss of clamping torque
-   Corrosion or pitting on the sleeve body or bore
-   Wear, scoring or elongation of the bore from fastener movement
-   Repeatedly loosening fasteners or rattling at the mounting point
-   Component misalignment or increased vibration at the assembly

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   A spacer sleeve sets a fixed length in the joint — never leave one out, shorten one, or substitute a stack of washers, or the clamping load and alignment will both be wrong
-   Check that the sleeve is square and fully seated in its counterbore or recess before any fastener is tightened
-   Discard a sleeve that is crushed, bell-mouthed, scored or corroded; a shortened sleeve lets the joint be over-clamped and the component distorted
-   On sleeves in an oil circuit, make sure the bore is clear and that any seal running on the sleeve has a clean, unscored surface to work against
-   Tighten the joint to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine, with the sleeve taking the clamping load rather than the component it protects
