3803148 Cylinder Head | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured cylinder head, weighing 23.133 kg and listed for nine applications across the TWD1620, TID162 and TAMD162 range. The reman catalogue lists this number against the TAMD162A, TAMD162A-B, TAMD162B, TAMD162C, TID162AP and TWD162C. It is supplied ready for installation with valves and springs fitted, and camshaft-bearing housings included where applicable. It consolidates two earlier numbers, 3803134, catalogued as a cylinder head, and 1556590, which appeared under an abbreviated Swedish description of the same head. Supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3806148 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.

• Bubbling in the expansion tank

🛠️ Service Notes

• Cylinder head 3803315 at 23.042 kg is only 91 grams away and covers the TAMD1623, TAMD1641AE-IFN and TAMD165P-A, so the designation decides it and not the scales
• An old parts list quoting 3803134 or 1556590 is pointing at this head
• Renew the head gasket and head bolts, and have the block face checked for flatness first
