Troubleshooting & FAQ
Does this gasket fit my Volvo Penta engine?
This gasket is designed for Volvo Penta models MD2020, MD2020A, MD2020B, MD2020C, and MD2020D. Please verify your engine model and the OEM part number 3580234 before purchasing.
What are common signs of a failed cylinder head gasket?
Symptoms include engine overheating, white smoke from the exhaust (coolant burn), milky or foamy engine oil, unexplained coolant loss, and poor engine performance or misfires due to loss of compression.
What material is this gasket made from?
This is a high-quality aftermarket gasket designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. For specific material composition, refer to your engine's service manual or contact us with your engine details.
Can I reuse my old cylinder head bolts?
It is strongly recommended to use new torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts if specified by the manufacturer, as old bolts can stretch and may not provide the correct clamping force, leading to premature gasket failure.
What is the correct torque sequence for installation?
The torque sequence and specification are critical and specific to your engine model. Always refer to your Volvo Penta service manual for the exact procedure to ensure a proper seal.
How can I tell if the gasket is installed correctly?
A correctly installed gasket will result in a smooth-running engine with no leaks, overheating, or performance issues. Always run the engine to operating temperature and re-check for any signs of coolant or oil leaks.
