3804052 Short Block Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for an exchange shortblock, listed under the Engine group at 375.119 kg. A shortblock is the block with its crankshaft, pistons, rods and bearings but no cylinder head, and this line is the refundable charge held against the worn one you send back rather than the assembly itself. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering it pairs with part 3801052. The 375.119 kg is a freight weight and the return needs handling to match.

⚙️ Key Features

• Refundable core deposit, not a fitted part
• Pairs with part 3801052
• 375.119 kg
• Shortblock exchange, head and valve gear not included

🔌 Function

Carries the refundable core charge on an exchange shortblock; the shortblock it covers holds the crankshaft, pistons and bearings that turn combustion pressure into rotation.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the shortblock being exchanged
• Knocking or rumbling from low in the engine that grows with load
• Oil pressure dropping away at hot idle and slow to build from cold
• Bearing material or bright metal in the oil filter or sump
• Bores scored or worn out of round on strip, with heavy blow-by

🛠️ Service Notes

• The deposit is refunded when the old shortblock is returned; ordering this line on its own supplies no part
• Return the shortblock drained and with the bearing caps in place, since a dismantled core can reduce or void the refund
• Send back the head and ancillaries only if the exchange paperwork asks for them, as a shortblock core is normally the bottom end alone

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
