856608 Gasket | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta gasket from the Engine group, weighing 0.045 kg and listed for three applications across the BB and SHIELD groups. Two other parts in this run carry exactly the same three applications - gasket 856626 at 0.249 kg and crankshaft seal 856580 at 0.046 kg. This gasket and that seal are within a gram of one another and are entirely different parts, so order by number.
