On upper gear housing service, renewing the gasket during reassembly helps maintain sealing and helps keep lubricant in while keeping contamination out. This service guidance is consistent with the current bearing-cover and upper-gear-housing application references for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstall only in the correct matched Volvo Penta application. Clean both mating surfaces carefully, inspect the cover and housing for damage or distortion, and follow the correct Volvo Penta service information for the serial-numbered drive. Proper surface preparation and correct alignment are especially important on upper gear housing sealing points. The surface-preparation point is a practical service inference supported by the identified cover-gasket application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrent sources reviewed list this part under active Volvo Penta number \u003cstrong\u003e3852317\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Replacing the gasket anytime the cover is removed is usually inexpensive insurance against leaks, contamination, and repeat teardown later on. The identified bearing-cover and upper-gear-housing role makes clean reassembly especially important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping: Ships same or next day for fast Canada wide shipping. ⚓\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564018401316,"sku":"3852317","price":8.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/b9bc82cb-2050-42ab-9923-9a1df71828ab.png?v=1776145289","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-697","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
