3801436 Cylinder Head | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured cylinder head from the Engine group, weighing 77.5 kg and listed for 2 applications on TAD-series engines. Volvo Penta supply a reman cylinder head ready for installation with valves and springs fitted, and with the camshaft-bearing housings included where the engine has them. In the D5 industrial table it is the head for the TAD550GE and TAD551GE, listed with unit injector 3803977, turbocharger 3801245 and circulation pump 3801578; no long block or short block is catalogued for that group, so the head is the largest reman assembly listed for it. At 77.5 kg it sits between the 68 kg heads and the 83.5 kg head 3801588, all of which are separate fitments. It is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3804436 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.
