3801826 Short Block Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured short block for EU Stage V and US EPA Tier 4F engines, weighing 282.59 kg and listed for 6 applications across the TAD series. Volvo Penta define a Reman short block as a cylinder block assembly with pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft and the gaskets required for short block replacement, with the camshaft included if applicable, so unlike a long block it comes without cylinder heads, rocker mechanism, oil pan or valve cover. The reman catalogue lists it as the short block for the TAD570VE, TAD571VE and TAD572VE group, where the matching head is 3801683. It replaces 23722985 and 3801743. This unit is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3804826 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.

Supplies the cylinder block with its crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods and the gaskets needed for short block replacement, ready to take a cylinder head and ancillaries.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Compression down on one or more cylinders
• Rumbling or knocking from the bottom end
• Blue smoke and heavy oil consumption
• Coolant in the oil, pointing to a cracked block or liner
• Metal in the oil or on the filter

🛠️ Service Notes

• Both this and 3801825 replace the same old block number 23722985 and only 3.6 kg separates them, so the emissions standard decides: this one is EU Stage V and US EPA Tier 4F, 3801825 is Stage 2 and Stage 3
• Because a short block carries no head, order the cylinder head, rocker gear, oil pan and valve cover work separately, and renew the head gasket and bolts on rebuild
• Read the emissions plate on the engine before ordering, and return the core once the engine is back together and running
