3801972 Engine Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured complete engine for the TAD870VE to TAD873VE range, weighing 500 kg. It is the SAE2 build with no engine brake and the oil pan deep end towards the flywheel - the only one of the four listings on this engine with the sump deep end at the flywheel end, which is what decides the order. The reman range defines a complete exchange engine as the cylinder block assembly with pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, camshaft, cylinder head, rocker mechanism, oil pan, valve cover, intake and fuel system, exhaust manifold and turbocharger, oil cooler, circulation pump and flywheel housing; flywheel, alternator and starter motor are normally not included. Reman components are restored to technically new condition, with wear parts and anything outside tolerance replaced by new genuine parts, built to a bill of material carrying all design changes so the unit meets the latest technical specification, then tested and painted before despatch. This is an exchange item: core deposit 3804972 is charged alongside it and refunded as soon as the worn engine is returned, and the core can go back once the new one is fitted and the engine is running again.
