wheels 543 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Anything I have seen come from Allibaba has been cheap nasty rubbish. I would go genuine if I were you.I also imagine you would need a Head Gasket set if available, not just the head gasket. A set should have all sorts of essential gaskets and seals etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Earth 0 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Yep got some good advice from a very experienced marine diesel mechanic. Go genuine! Power equipment has the goods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any experience with Alibaba specials? Try these guys www.keypart.com Their OEM VolvoPenta parts are a fraction of the local price and delivery is generally faster as well! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
