Does a Perkins 103-10 cylinder head fit on a Volvo MD2030D?

On my Volvo penta MD2030D, the cylinder head cracked in three places and I need to replace it. I got the information for the cylinder head from Perkins 103-10 answers on my engine. I was reading an article written by Geoff Higginbottom, where the author replaces a cylinder head on a Volvo engine with a Perkins replacement part. The only thing that is not specified is which perkins engine fits the MD2030 cylinder head.

This might be of interest

Are all Volvos originally Perkins engines?
My engine is a Penta which was originally a Peugeot Indentor..

Once you get away from marine suppliers prices get more appealing....

Saw this lad advertising lots of engines today on ebay. Know nothing about him. But might be worth a try for a head.

Yes The Perkins 103 10 is the same engine as the Volvo 2030.

Originally some of vp engines were made by them, then they used a Peugeot engine, the one with an alloy head, yours? Then they started using Perkins. The 20X0 range are Perkins as are the D range based on the Perkins 400 range
