3801806 Cylinder Head | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured cylinder head for engines built with VCB, from the Engine group, weighing 215.46 kg and listed for 7 applications across the TAD series. 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. The compression brake is the deciding detail: across the D16 industrial tables this head is listed as the with-VCB option and 3801395 or 3801805 as the without-VCB alternatives, in each case alongside long block 3801513. At 215.46 kg it sits between the 148.32 kg unit 3801841 and the 224.53 kg unit 3801649. It is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3804806 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant loss with no external leak
• White smoke or steam from the exhaust when warm
• Combustion gas in the coolant, bubbling in the expansion tank
• Cracks at the valve seats or injector bores
• Head face out of flatness or sunk seats

🛠️ Service Notes

• Confirm whether your engine has the compression brake - the without-VCB heads for the same engines are 3801395 and 3801805, and they are not interchangeable with this one
• Renew the head gasket and bolts as a matter of course, and check the block face for flatness before fitting
• Change the injector seals and coolant while the head is off, then return the old head as the core once the engine is running to release deposit 3804806
