22403541 Gasket | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A genuine Volvo Penta gasket used in the TAD870VE, TAD871VE, TAD872VE and TAD873VE inlet-and-exhaust system. It seals the flanged joint in the air-inlet, air-valve or exhaust-brake arrangement and is located with related air valve, flange and pipe components. A new gasket should be fitted whenever the joint is disturbed.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta TAD870-73VE

• Engine Family: TAD

⚙️ Key Features

• OEM flange gasket for the TAD870-73VE air/exhaust control assembly
• Correct port shape and bolt pattern
• Designed for the temperature and pressure of the inlet/exhaust system
• Supports a gas-tight joint around the air valve or adjoining flange
• Prevents unmetered air or exhaust leakage
• Single-service sealing component recommended for renewal after disassembly

🔌 Function

The gasket seals the mating flange so boost air or exhaust gas remains within the intended passage. A sound seal protects pressure control, exhaust-brake operation and engine performance.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Hissing or exhaust-ticking noise
• Soot or oily residue around the flange
• Reduced boost pressure or engine power
• Exhaust-brake or air-valve performance faults
• Heat marks around the gasket edge
• Repeated leakage from warped or corroded flange faces

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit a new gasket every time the joint is disturbed — a gasket takes a permanent set once it has been torqued and will not seal reliably a second time
• Scrape both faces back to clean bare metal, keeping the blade at a shallow angle so it lifts the old material without gouging the surface, and use a plastic scraper on aluminium castings
• Check the faces for flatness, cracks and corrosion pitting, and make sure no old gasket, carbon or hardened sealant is left in the corners or around the bolt holes
• Fit the gasket dry unless the workshop manual for your engine calls for a sealant, and then only the type it specifies — surplus sealant squeezes out into oil, coolant and fuel passages
• Draw the fasteners down progressively in the sequence and to the torque given in the manual for your engine, and recheck after the first heat cycle where the manual asks for it
