🔧 Product Description
Genuine Volvo Penta shortblock from the Engine group, weighing 247 kg. Shortblock 3801500 sits only 4.5 kg above it at 251.5 kg, and neither carries an engine series, so these two can only be separated by part number. This unit is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3804501 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.
⚙️ Key Features
- Shortblock assembly
- 247 kg
- Only 4.5 kg apart from shortblock 3801500, so weight cannot separate them
🔌 Function
Supplies the block with crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods fitted, leaving the head, valvetrain and ancillaries to be transferred from the old engine or bought separately.
⚠️ Common Signs of Failure
- Compression loss with the head proven good
- Oil pushed out of the crankcase breather
- Bottom-end knock that worsens with load
- Low hot oil pressure
- Scoring, ovality or bearing damage found on strip-down
🛠️ Service Notes
- The head and valvetrain are not included, so plan for those separately
- Check the number against your engine's parts list, as no engine series is listed to narrow it down
- Core deposit 3804501 is charged with this unit and refunded when the old one is returned - order both together
📦 Condition
- Genuine Volvo Penta part
- Brand new
- Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
