Detroit Diesel 2-71 – Camshaft & Related Components

The Detroit Diesel 2-71 engine stands as one of the smallest and most versatile power units in the Series 71 family. Its compact two-cylinder configuration delivers the same legendary dependability and two-stroke efficiency that made the entire Series 71 lineup an industry standard. At the heart of its operation is the camshaft—a precision-timed component that controls both the fuel injectors and exhaust valves to ensure optimal combustion and balanced engine performance.

Over time, the camshaft and its related components can wear due to high mechanical loads and constant rotational stress. When it’s time to replace or rebuild your Detroit Diesel 2-71 camshaft, Diesel Pro Power provides the best selection of premium aftermarket components engineered to restore your engine’s original performance and reliability.

Camshaft Assemblies for Detroit Diesel 2-71

Diesel Pro Power’s camshaft assemblies are manufactured to exact Detroit Diesel specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and proper valve timing for every revolution. Each camshaft is machined and surface-hardened for wear resistance and balanced to maintain smooth rotation. These components deliver consistent injector actuation and valve control—essential for maintaining even power output from your 2-71 engine.

Camshaft Bearings, Bushings, and Gears

Supporting components such as camshaft bearings, bushings, and drive gears are equally vital to engine performance. Diesel Pro Power supplies precision-engineered replacements that maintain alignment and lubrication flow. Proper fitment minimizes vibration, reduces friction, and extends both camshaft and engine block longevity.

Rocker Arms, Shafts, and Valve Train Hardware

Because the camshaft’s motion is transferred through the rocker arms and shafts, Diesel Pro Power also carries high-quality replacements for these components. Whether you’re performing a top-end rebuild or routine service, replacing worn rocker hardware ensures the valves open and close with the accuracy needed to maintain smooth idle and clean exhaust operation.

Seals, Gaskets, and Thrust Washers

To complete your camshaft installation, Diesel Pro Power provides all the sealing and alignment parts required, including thrust washers, seals, and camshaft gaskets. These parts help prevent oil leaks and maintain proper endplay—keeping the lubrication system clean and efficient.
