3801588 Cylinder Head Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured cylinder head from the Engine group, weighing 83.5 kg and listed for 9 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. It supersedes part number 3801471, catalogued under the same name. In the D7 industrial section it is the head for two separate engine tables, in both cases with unit injector 3801246 and circulation pump 3801577, the turbocharger differing between them - 3801468 on one and 3801163 on the other; no long block or short block is catalogued for either, so the head is the largest reman assembly listed for them. It is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3804588 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

🛠️ Service Notes

• An old order under 3801471 now resolves to this number
• The same head serves both engine tables, but the turbocharger does not - 3801468 on one and 3801163 on the other, so check the number before ordering the pair
• Renew the head gasket and head bolts, have the valve seats and injector sleeves checked, and return the old head as the core to release deposit 3804588
