Rebuild Kit Catalog for Cummins Marine & Industrial Engines

Complete In-Frame Rebuild Kits for Every Cummins Engine Model

When your Cummins engine begins to show signs of wear—be it in a commercial vessel, recreational boat, power generator, or industrial application—a rebuild kit is often the most effective and affordable solution. At Diesel Pro Power, we provide in-frame rebuild kits that restore your engine’s performance, improve reliability, and reduce downtime, all without the cost of a full replacement.

Each Cummins rebuild kit includes essential components such as pistons, rings, liners, main bearings, rod bearings, and lower gaskets. These kits also function as full overhaul kits, providing the comprehensive parts required to complete an engine overhaul without removing the engine block.

 

Selecting Your Rebuild Kit by CPL

When it comes to Cummins engines, selecting the correct rebuild kit begins with identifying the Control Parts List (CPL) number. This four-digit code determines the exact configuration of your engine, including pistons, injectors, camshaft profile, timing, and emissions components. Ordering the wrong kit without referencing the CPL could lead to mismatched parts and costly delays.

Why the CPL Matters

Even if two Cummins engines share the same base model (like 6CTA or KTA19), they may have completely different internal setups depending on their CPLs. This is especially true in marine and industrial environments, where engines are often customized for specific power requirements, gear ratios, and auxiliary systems.

How to Find the CPL Number

  • Engraved on the dataplate: You can find it on the metal tag located on the valve cover or gear housing.

  • Stamped on the block: In many cases, the CPL is also stamped near the injector pump or on the intake side of the block.

  • Need help locating it? Contact Diesel Pro Power  and our support team will walk you through how to find it or help identify your engine using pictures.

Selecting the Right Rebuild Kit

Once you have your CPL, match it against the product description. At Diesel Pro Power, each Cummins rebuild kit lists the CPLs it supports. If you’re still unsure, call us directly and we’ll verify it for you—so you can order confidently and get the right overhaul kit the first time.

Guide To Reading Your Cummins Engines Dataplate

 

What Parts Come in a Rebuild Kit?

A typical Cummins rebuild kit—also known as an in-frame overhaul kit—includes all the major components needed to restore your engine’s performance, compression, and reliability. While contents vary slightly by engine model, most kits include the following:

Core Components in Every Rebuild Kit:

  • Pistons – Matched to your CPL

  • Piston rings – For sealing compression

  • Cylinder liners (wet or dry) – Replace worn cylinder walls

  • Rod bearings – Support piston connecting rods

  • Main bearings – Support the crankshaft

  • Thrust washers – Prevent crankshaft endplay

  • Gudgeon pins & clips – Secure pistons to connecting rods

Gaskets & Seals:

  • Lower gasket set – Includes oil pan, timing cover, and front/rear seals

  • O-rings & sealing washers – For oil passage integrity

  • Crankshaft seals – Front and rear (added to cart separately)

  • Thermostat housing and valve cover gaskets

  • Upper Gasket Sets: Head gaskets etc. 

 


Signs It’s Time to Rebuild Your Engine

Recognizing when it’s time for a Cummins rebuild kit can save you from catastrophic engine failure. Whether you're operating a marine vessel, generator, or industrial machine, these are the top warning signs that your engine may need an in-frame rebuild.

1. Excessive Exhaust Smoke

  • White smoke: Indicates coolant is entering combustion chamber.

  • Blue smoke: Sign of oil burning, often due to worn piston rings.

  • Black smoke: Points to incomplete combustion from fuel delivery issues.

2. Loss of Power

If you’re noticing sluggish acceleration, low RPM torque, or difficulty maintaining load under power, it could mean low compression—often solved with a new rebuild kit.

3. High Oil Consumption

Frequent oil top-ups are a red flag. Worn piston rings and leaking seals—both replaced in a rebuild—are common culprits.

4. Coolant in Oil or Oil in Coolant

This often indicates a failed head gasket or cracked cylinder liner. Replacing them with a proper overhaul kit during a rebuild is the only solution.

5. Blow-by or Crankcase Pressure

If you’re seeing vapor blowing from the oil filler cap, that’s combustion gases escaping past worn piston rings—a classic sign it’s rebuild time.

6. Knocking, Ticking, or Metallic Noises

Engine knock, especially under load, is often due to worn bearings or excessive piston-to-wall clearance—both addressed in a complete Cummins rebuild kit.

7. Poor Fuel Economy

Sudden drops in fuel efficiency could mean worn injectors, rings, or valves—not just a fuel system issue. An engine refresh can solve this.

16. What does “in-frame” mean in relation to a rebuild kit?

An in-frame rebuild refers to restoring the engine while it remains installed in the boat, truck, or machine. A rebuild kit for Cummins engines provides all the internal components needed to perform this service without removing the engine block.

17. Can I return a rebuild kit if I order the wrong one?

Yes—but it's important to confirm your rebuild kit for Cummins engines by CPL number before ordering to avoid errors.

21. What’s the difference between the upper and lower gasket kits included?

A rebuild kit for Cummins engines includes both:

  • The lower gasket kit: oil pan gaskets, crankshaft seals, timing cover, and water pump gaskets.

  • The upper gasket kit: cylinder head gasket, valve cover gasket, intake/exhaust manifold gaskets, injector seals, and thermostat seals.

Together, they provide full in-frame sealing coverage for a complete engine restoration.

22. Do I need to replace my injectors during a rebuild?

Not always, but it’s highly recommended to inspect them during the rebuild. If your injectors are leaking, worn, or underperforming, replacing them while installing your rebuild kit for Cummins engines can prevent future failures and optimize fuel efficiency.

23. Can I reuse old components when installing a rebuild kit for Cummins engines?

It’s not recommended. While some components may appear reusable, reusing worn parts—especially pistons, bearings, or gaskets—can compromise the rebuild. A rebuild kit for Cummins engines is designed to replace all wear-prone internals to restore full performance, reliability, and compression. For best results, use all new parts included in the kit.

24. Do rebuild kits include camshaft bushings or timing gears?

No, camshaft bushings and timing gears are not included in a standard rebuild kit for Cummins engines. These parts are considered external to the in-frame rebuild process. However, if your rebuild includes top-end or timing system service, we offer these components separately and can help you add them to your order.
