# 3884540 Gasket | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta gasket from the Cooling System group, weighing 2.3 g and listed for 6 applications on D-series engines. It supersedes part number 3887345, as does gasket 3884539, so the old gasket kit has been split into two separate parts and the joint may need both.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   Volvo Penta D2-40
-   Volvo Penta D2-40B
-   Volvo Penta D2-40F
-   Volvo Penta D1-30

-   **Engine Family:** D

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Cooling System gasket
-   2.3 g
-   Supersedes 3887345, the same number replaced by gasket 3884539
-   Listed for 6 D-series applications

## 🔌 Function

Seals the clamped joint it sits in, holding coolant inside the water space and keeping the faces apart at a controlled thickness.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure
