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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563975901220,"sku":"1545779","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/1545779.png?v=1771386752","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-penta-gasket-1545779","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
