🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta Starboard-Side Oil-Pan Reinforcement - Part Number: 3856121

A genuine used starboard-side oil-pan reinforcement plate for selected Volvo Penta GM-based 5.0L and 5.7L V8 petrol engines.

The plate installs along the starboard oil-pan flange and works with port reinforcement 3856120 to distribute bolt pressure evenly. It helps prevent the stamped oil pan from pulling inward around individual bolt holes. Volvo Penta identifies 3856121 as the starboard reinforcement.
