# 3801879 Cylinder Head Reman | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured cylinder head for the TAD1180VE to TAD1183VE range, weighing 226 kg. On that range it is the largest sub-assembly the reman listing offers below the complete engine 3801984, since neither a long block nor a short block is listed for these engines. Reman cylinder heads are supplied ready for installation with valves and springs, and camshaft-bearing housings are included where applicable. 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 3804879 is charged alongside it and refunded as soon as the worn head is returned, and the core can go back once the new one is fitted and the engine is running again.

## 🔌 Function

Closes the top of the cylinders and carries the valve seats, ports and injector bores, forming the roof of each combustion chamber along with the upper coolant and oil passages.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Coolant disappearing with no visible external leak
-   White smoke or a sweet smell from the exhaust
-   Combustion pressure pushing into the cooling system and pressurising the header tank
-   Cracks around the valve seats or injector bores found on strip-down
-   Head face distorted or corroded beyond the permitted skim

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Renew the head gasket, head bolts and single-use seals at the same time
-   At 226 kg this is a lifting-gear job - plan the handling before the head comes off
