The insert forms the small combustion chamber around the injector nozzle and controls the passage between the chamber and the main cylinder. One insert is used per cylinder, so a complete six-cylinder engine normally requires six. Installation requires correct cylinder-head machining, protrusion and seating checks.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🚤 Compatibility\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Typically suits:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta MD40A\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta TMD40A\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta TMD40B\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta TMD40C\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta AQAD40B\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta AQAD40A\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta AQD40A\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta TAMD40A\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta TAMD40B\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   Engine Family:\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  MD, TMD, AQAD, AQD, TAMD\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n ⚙️ Key Features\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  OEM Volvo Penta part number 1542140\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  System group: Engine\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Net weight: 0.04 kg\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits MD40, TMD40, AQD40, AQAD40 and TAMD40 series marine diesel engines\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Supplied as an individual component\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Engine type: Volvo Penta inline six-cylinder indirect-injection diesel\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🔌 Function\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n The insert fits into a machined bore or housing within the engine to provide a correctly sized and located seating or wear surface for the mating component.
