3801805 Cylinder Head Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured cylinder head for engines built without VCB, from the Engine group, weighing 265.81 kg and listed for 35 applications across the TAD, D and TWD series, against 9 for the next widest head listed here, 3801588. 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 D16 industrial tables it is the without-VCB head against long block 3801513 and against the TAD1643VE-B build, with 3801806 as the with-VCB alternative in both. Its published weight is identical to that of 3801803, so the compression brake specification, the fitment breadth and the part number are what distinguish it. It is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3804805 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: TAD, D, TWD

🛠️ Service Notes

• 3801803 is listed at exactly the same weight but with only 2 applications and a supersession of 3801605, so check the number rather than the mass
