3804097 Short Block Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for an exchange shortblock, listed under the Engine group. It is the refundable charge held against the worn bottom-end assembly you return, not the assembly itself. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering it pairs with part 3801097.

⚙️ Key Features

• Refundable core deposit, not a fitted part
• Pairs with part 3801097
• 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
• Knock or rumble from the bottom end that rises with load
• Oil pressure low at hot idle and slow to come up from cold
• Bearing material or bright metal in the filter or sump
• Bores scored, glazed or worn oval 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
• Keep the head, manifolds and ancillaries unless the exchange paperwork calls for them, as a shortblock core is normally the bottom end alone

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
