I need to replace the snap ring on my penta 380 exhaust baffle, not sure of part number and thats what i'm hoping to find here. I saw this number on a different site, VOLVO-3852665 but want to confirm, will get from here if they have it. Appreciate any help. thanks.
 
ok, that was the right part, now, any tips on getting the snap ring into place? I filed down a pair of long needle nose pliers to act as the snapring pliers, but cant get it all the way up to the inside lip of the baffle without it getting caught in one of the ridges. Can I just cement that into place?
 
OK, got it, i ended up grinding down the tip of 16" needled nose plyers to fit the snap ring, then ground a groove into the teeth to hold it, pushed it all the way past the baffle, then pulled it back that 1/4 inch to fit into the baffle channel. Lots of trial an error, but its done now.
