979097 Gasket | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta gasket weighing 0.002 kg and listed for 11 applications across the TAD and TADH series. Two other gaskets appear in this run - 979099, listed for 97 applications, and 981183 for the TAMD41H-B - and none of the three publish a thickness or material, so the part number is the only safe guide.

⚙️ Key Features

• Listed for 11 applications across the TAD and TADH series
• Narrower fitment than gasket 979099, which covers 97 applications
• Thickness and material are not published - order by part number

🔌 Function

Seals the joint between two machined faces, taking up surface irregularity so the joint holds pressure without weeping.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• A wet film or weep at the joint face after a run
• A dried stain or trail running down below the joint
• Gasket found hard, cracked or crushed on removal
• Fasteners found slack where the joint has relaxed

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew rather than reuse - a gasket that has been compressed once will not seal a second time
• Clean both faces back to bare metal and check them for scoring or distortion before fitting

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
• Brand new
• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
