3801233 Cylinder Head | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta cylinder head from the Engine group, weighing 104 kg and listed for a single TAD series application. It supersedes part number 3803958, which was catalogued earlier as a remanufactured cylinder head, so this number now covers that position as a new head. This unit is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3804233 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.

🛠️ Service Notes

• At 104 kg this is a lifting job - arrange gear and a guide for the head before starting
• Because it replaces a number that was listed as a remanufactured head, confirm you are quoted the new unit and not an exchange one
• Have the block deck checked for flatness and renew the head bolts where they are specified single-use
• Core deposit 3804233 is charged with this unit and refunded when the old one is returned - order both together
