# 3801769 Engine Reman | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured complete engine for the TAD870VE to TAD873VE range, weighing 709 kg. It is the SAE1 build with an engine brake and the oil pan deep end towards the front - the one listing of four on this engine that includes the engine brake, which is what separates it from 3801770, 3801771 and 3801972. The reman range defines a complete exchange engine as the cylinder block assembly with pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, camshaft, cylinder head, rocker mechanism, oil pan, valve cover, intake and fuel system, exhaust manifold and turbocharger, oil cooler, circulation pump and flywheel housing; flywheel, alternator and starter motor are normally not included. Reman components are restored to technically new condition, with wear parts and anything outside tolerance replaced by new genuine parts, built to a bill of material carrying all design changes so the unit meets the latest technical specification, then tested and painted before despatch. This is an exchange item: core deposit 3804769 is charged alongside it and refunded as soon as the worn engine is returned, and the core can go back once the new one is fitted and the engine is running again.
