What This Gasket Does
The 3580374 is a genuine Volvo Penta OEM timing gear housing gasket. It seals the joint between the timing gear casing and the front plate at the front of the engine, preventing oil leakage from the timing-drive area. This is a critical sealing component in the front engine assembly — a failed or damaged gasket here will result in oil weeping from the timing cover area, which can worsen over time and contaminate the drive belt or surrounding components.
Compatible Applications
Confirm the complete engine model, serial number, and timing-cover diagram before ordering. Several different gaskets and seals are used in the same front-engine assembly, each serving a different sealing location.
- MD2010A / MD2010B
- MD2020A / MD2020B
- MD2030A / MD2030B / MD2030-C / MD2030-D
- MD2040A / MD2040B
- D1-30 / D1-30B / D1-30F
- D2-40 / D2-40B / D2-40F
Always confirm fitment using your engine serial number and the correct Volvo Penta timing-cover parts diagram. Multiple gaskets are used in the same front-engine assembly — confirm the exact sealing location before ordering.
Serial Number Requirement
Match part number 3580374 to your engine serial number and the correct Volvo Penta timing gear housing diagram before ordering. Gasket specifications can vary between serial number ranges even within the same engine family.
Superseded Part Numbers
No confirmed superseding Volvo Penta part number has been established in current parts references. 3580374 remains the current active OEM number.
When to Replace This Gasket
- Oil leakage visible around the timing-housing-to-front-plate joint
- Timing gear housing is being removed for any reason — always fit a new gasket on reassembly
- Front engine resealing or timing-housing service
- Gasket is compressed, cracked, or damaged during inspection
Installation Notes
- Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly and remove all traces of old gasket material before fitting the new gasket
- Inspect the timing gear casing and front plate for warping, corrosion, or damage at the sealing surfaces
- While the timing housing is apart, inspect the crankshaft front seal, front plate, and adjoining sealing components — replace any that show wear
- Do not reuse the old gasket — always fit a new 3580374 on reassembly
- Follow Volvo Penta torque specifications for all timing housing fasteners
Technical FAQ
What is the difference between 3580374 and 3580360?
These two gaskets seal different joints within the same front-engine timing cover assembly. The 3580374 seals the timing gear casing to the front plate. The 3580360 seals a different joint farther forward in the same assembly. Do not substitute one for the other — confirm the exact sealing location in the Volvo Penta timing-cover diagram for your engine.
Do I need to replace other gaskets at the same time?
When the timing housing is open, it is good practice to inspect and replace all gaskets and seals in the front-engine assembly at the same time, including 3580378 and 3580026 where applicable. Confirm which parts are required for your specific engine using the Volvo Penta parts diagram.

Parts Desk Insights
The most common issue with this gasket is customers ordering the wrong one from the front-engine assembly — the MD2 and D1/D2 timing cover area uses several different gaskets at different joints, and they can look similar. The 3580374 specifically seals the timing gear casing to the front plate; it should not be confused with 3580360, which seals a different joint farther forward in the same assembly. When a customer is doing a full front-engine reseal, it’s worth pulling the complete timing-cover diagram and ordering all the gaskets and seals at once rather than going back for individual pieces mid-job.
