Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this gasket will fit my engine?
This gasket fits specific Volvo Penta 30 and 40 series models. Please refer to the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table and cross-reference your engine model and production year. Verifying the OEM part number is the most reliable method.
What are the signs of a failed exhaust manifold gasket?
Common symptoms include a loud ticking or tapping sound from the engine bay that is most prominent on a cold start, visible black soot trails around the manifold, reduced engine performance, and exhaust fumes inside the boat.
How many gaskets do I need for a full replacement?
Volvo Penta 30 Series engines require four (4) of these gaskets, while 40 Series engines require six (6) for a complete service of the exhaust manifold.
Should I use sealant or adhesive when installing this gasket?
Most exhaust manifold gaskets, including this one, are designed to be installed dry. Applying sealant can cause the gasket to slip or fail prematurely. Always follow the installation guidelines in your official Volvo Penta service manual.
