Volvo Penta Engine Gasket — Part No. 1545779
This is the genuine OEM Volvo Penta gasket for compatible marine engine applications. Precision-cut to factory specifications, this gasket creates a reliable seal between mating surfaces to prevent oil, coolant, and combustion gas leaks. Using the correct OEM gasket ensures proper compression, surface contact, and long-term sealing integrity — particularly important in the temperature and pressure cycles of marine engine operation.
If your Volvo Penta service manual or parts lookup specifies 1545779, this is the correct part.

Technical FAQ
Can I reuse this gasket after removing it?
No. Gaskets compress and conform to mating surfaces during initial installation. Once removed, they cannot provide a reliable seal and must be replaced.
Do I need sealant with this gasket?
Only where the Volvo Penta service manual specifies it. Many gaskets are designed to seal without additional sealant — over-applying sealant can cause as many problems as under-applying. Follow the service manual for your specific application.
How do I know this is the right gasket for my engine?
Cross-reference your engine model and serial number in the Volvo Penta parts catalog. Gaskets are listed by location and serial number range — the same engine family can use different gaskets depending on production date and configuration.
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This gasket is the right choice when your Volvo Penta service manual or parts lookup specifically calls for part number 1545779. It’s most commonly needed during engine disassembly, cover removal, or any service that breaks a sealed joint. Ordering the OEM gasket before starting the job avoids delays waiting for parts mid-service.
Common customer questions: Customers frequently ask if an aftermarket gasket will work — in many cases it will, but OEM gaskets are cut to exact tolerances and material specifications for the application. The other common issue is ordering by engine model alone without checking the serial number range, which can result in receiving the wrong gasket for a mid-production change.
