3801534 Cylinder Head Reman | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured cylinder head for the D11B1-A MP, D11B2-A MP, D11B3-A MP and D11B4-A MP, weighing 204.57 kg. Reman cylinder heads are supplied ready for installation with the valves and springs already fitted, and with camshaft-bearing housings included where the design has them. It carries exactly the same published weight as the D9 head 3801427, to the gram, so the figure separates the two not at all and only the engine series does. The catalogue lists this head as part of the D11B package with long block 3801615, unit injector 3801433 and turbocharger 3801526. Supplied on exchange, so a core fee is added to the invoice and refunded when the worn head is returned.
