3801887 Cylinder Head Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured cylinder head for the D6 F-series, weighing 73.028 kg and listed for nine applications across the D6-300, D6-330 and D6-370 engines. 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. Its close neighbour here is 3801888 at 73.482 kg, the head for the higher-rated D6-400 and D6-435 F engines - 454 grams apart, so the engine rating decides. The catalogue lists this head alongside long block 3801703 and turbocharger 3802152. Supplied on exchange, so a core fee is added to the invoice and refunded when the worn head is returned.
