1545160 Spacer Sleeve | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta spacer sleeve for the 30, 31, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 44 series marine diesel engines. This is the early type sleeve, so confirm which version your engine build takes before ordering, as later-specification engines use a different sleeve. It maintains correct spacing and clamping length between assembled components so fasteners load evenly and parts stay in their intended position.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: MD, TMD, TAMD, AD, AQAD, D, AQD, TD, KAMD, KAD
• HP Range: Approximately 62-200 HP
• Year Range: Approximately 1973 - 2005

🔌 Function

A spacer sleeve sets and maintains a fixed distance between two assembled components, transferring bolt clamping load without crushing or distorting the surrounding parts. It keeps the assembly correctly aligned and preloaded throughout its service life.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Visible crushing, deformation or shortening of the sleeve reducing clamp length
• Loose or repeatedly loosening fasteners at the joint it supports
• Wear, scoring or ovality on the bore or outer face from movement in service
• Corrosion or pitting causing the sleeve to seize or break up on removal
• Misalignment, vibration or knocking from the assembly it locates

🛠️ Service Notes

• Confirm sleeve quantity and length against the engine's cylinder-block arrangement before tightening the foot-plate hardware.
• Replace any sleeve with damaged ends or evidence of collapse; incorrect spacing can distort the bracket or block joint.
