Gasket — Crankshaft Front Cover (Front Gear/Accessory Cover Gasket)

A front cover perimeter gasket tailored for the 6V92 non-turbo’s timing/gear housing interface. It’s specified to provide uniform sealing around the cover’s fastener pattern and passage cutouts that are unique to this configuration. In catalog terms, this is the go-to item when refreshing front end sealing while inspecting camshaft-area components. Stock units ship flat to prevent creasing, with consistent material thickness for proper crush. Commonly paired in orders with camshaft seals, hub/drive seals, and the front cam bearing support gasket.

Shell Set — Camshaft Bearings (Upper/Lower Halves for 6V92)

Matched bearing shells designed for the 6V92’s cam journal diameters and oil feed geometry. Use this set for routine refreshes at higher hours or when returning clearances to within factory specification after journal polishing or cam replacement. Catalog highlights: precision wall thickness control, smooth bearing overlay for quick oil film formation, and clearly marked tang/orientation features. Frequently ordered alongside cam followers and thrust/spacer washers when a broader top-end refresh is planned.

Camshaft Bearing Bolt (Intermediate Locations)

Purpose-built fasteners for securing cam bearing caps on the 6V92. Spec hardness and thread profile support repeatable torque retention under vibration and thermal cycling. These are commonly ordered as a fresh set when replacing shells to keep the bearing stack secure and uniform. Each lot is batch-verified for tensile strength and thread pitch accuracy.

Retaining Ring — Camshaft Bearing Lock

A spring-steel retainer ring that seats into the designed groove to keep the relevant cam bearing element positively located. When building a clean, catalog-based cart, it’s standard practice to include new retainers with shells and cap hardware. Rings ship individually packaged to avoid deformation; edges are deburred for consistent snap-fit feel during assembly checks.

Nut — Camshaft Gear Nut

The dedicated cam gear retaining nut for the 6V92’s cam nose. This component is engineered to maintain clamping force under the torsional pulses characteristic of a V-configured two-stroke valvetrain drive. Catalog note: typically paired with a fresh retainer/lock element and, when desired, a new lockwasher. Stocked in corrosion-protected finish with thread integrity verified per lot.

Retainer — Camshaft Gear Nut Lock

A positive-locking retainer that works with the cam gear nut to resist loosening. For customers building a “do-it-once” cart for a front-end refresh, this retainer is a low-cost, high-assurance item. Catalog packaging keeps the locking feature protected from bending during transit.

Key — Camshaft Woodruff

A correctly profiled woodruff key for locating the cam gear on the camshaft nose in the 6V92 non-turbo configuration. The profile ensures precision timing index and prevents micro-motion that could lead to fretting. Often purchased in multiples as spares due to small size and criticality. Hardened material and tight profile tolerances are standard.

Seal — Camshaft (Front)

Front dynamic seal for the 6V92 camshaft passage through the front cover. Catalog features include a robust elastomer lip and spring energizer tuned for the cam nose surface speed range found on this engine. This seal is regularly combined in one shipment with the front cover gasket, hub/drive seals, and the pulley spacer to refresh the entire nose area’s oil control.

Spacer — Front Camshaft Pulley

Corrects the designed stand-off for the pulley at the cam/front drive location. Specified thickness and parallelism ensure pulley tracking and alignment with the other rotating elements at the front of the 6V92 non-turbo. Customers commonly add this when existing spacers show fretting or when eliminating minor misalignment during a seal refresh.

Camshaft Bearing — Front & Rear

Bearing elements for the extreme ends of the 6V92 camshaft. The front unit manages gear-mesh load; the rear keeps the shaft stabilized through the full operating range. Catalog-grade bearings are supplied with consistent race finish, correct lubrication features, and clear orientation marks. Popular to bundle with the general shell set when a comprehensive cam support refresh is desired.

Camshaft Bearing — Front (Location-Specific)

A front-position bearing manufactured to the loading and geometry requirements at the 6V92 cam nose. Catalog notes call out the focus on low noise, stable support at continuous-duty RPM, and longevity under typical industrial and marine-adjacent duty cycles that the 6V92 non-turbo often sees. Packaged to protect rolling surfaces.

Gasket — End Bearing (End Plate Interface)

Flat gasket that seals the bearing end plate to its mating surface in the 6V92 cam support structure. Material choice resists hot oil and maintains seal under cover fastener loads. Frequently grouped with the front cover gasket and flywheel housing gasket to refresh all perimeter interfaces in one service window.

Washer — Camshaft Bearing (Thrust/Spacer Use)

A hardened washer used as part of the bearing/thrust stack to maintain the designed axial position of the 6V92 camshaft. Stocked in the specified thickness with parallel faces for reliable stack geometry. Often ordered in pairs with the cam bearing bolts for a uniform, fresh fastener/washer set.

Camshaft Damper (Torsional Vibration Control)

A camshaft-mounted damper configured for the frequency content typical of the 6V92’s gear train. Catalog emphasis: smooths torsional oscillations for quieter running and improved component longevity. Units are balanced and shipped with protective hub caps or sleeves to keep interfaces pristine until install. Many customers add this to a cart when chasing gear noise or when refreshing multiple front-end items.

Lockwasher — Camshaft (Lock Tab Style)

A lock tab washer intended for use with specific camshaft-related fasteners on the 6V92 non-turbo. Each washer features crisp bend lines and the correct inner profile to mate with the target fastener. Because lock tabs are considered single-use, they’re commonly included proactively in every cam/front-end order.

Idler Gear Bearing (Front Gear Train Support)

Bearing unit for the idler gear that transmits motion in the 6V92 cam drive. Catalog units emphasize roundness, race finish, and load capacity appropriate to the gear mesh forces observed on this platform. When customers note a growl from the gearcase or plan a front cover reseal, this bearing and the idler bolt are frequently added.

Idler Gear Bolt (Fastener for Idler Support)

A high-integrity bolt specified to retain the idler gear/bushing assembly at the correct stand-off. The shank, shoulder, and thread are controlled to maintain gear mesh geometry. Orders typically include a full complement where “six per engine” is required, so check quantity needed for your specific configuration and add multiples as appropriate.

Seal — Drive Pulley Hub (Front Hub Seal)

A front hub seal for the 6V92 drive pulley interface. The seal’s outer diameter, lip geometry, and material are matched to the typical operating environment and shaft finish of this engine family. Often purchased alongside the camshaft seal and pulley drive shaft seal to restore the complete front hub sealing set in one pass.

Seal — Tachometer Drive Cover

A seal dedicated to the tach drive cover location on the 6V92 front structure. Catalog units are dimensioned for a snug housing fit and a consistent lip preload on the drive/stub, helping preserve oil control at the small, high-value access point on the front end.

Seal — Pulley Drive Shaft

Another front-end dynamic seal sized for the 6V92 pulley drive shaft. Customers include this when rounding out a “no-drips” front-end rebuild basket. Stock is maintained to keep lead times low for full seal kits.

Push Rod — For Cam Follower

Push rods manufactured for the mass, length, and end-form requirements of the 6V92 non-turbo’s follower/rocker geometry. Catalog notes: straightness is checked, ends are finished for smooth seating, and rods are batch-balanced within tight tolerances to promote consistent valve-train behavior. Commonly ordered as a full set when evidence of tip wear or bending appears in service records.

Retainer — Push Rod

A compact retainer that ensures each 6V92 push rod sits correctly relative to its follower/guide arrangement. Given the small size and importance of positive location, customers typically add a few extras to cover any damaged or missing retainers discovered during inspection.

Guide — Cam Follower

A precision guide that keeps the 6V92 roller follower correctly aligned to the cam lobe. Catalog highlights include wear-resistant material, smooth bores, and consistent external geometry so guides seat square and keep the follower tracking properly through the full lift curve. Frequently bought in clusters to address multiple cylinders at once.

Gasket — Flywheel Housing (End Plate to Housing)

A rear structure gasket used where the end plate and housing meet on the 6V92. While not a cam lobe part per se, it’s closely associated with the engine’s main structural sealing and is often reviewed during comprehensive front-to-rear breathing and sealing refreshes. The catalog version emphasizes dimensional stability and oil resistance.

Gasket — Balance Weight Cover

Flat gasket for the cover over the balance weight cavity associated with the 6V92’s front structure. Consistent gasket thickness supports even clamp load and long-term seal. Often paired with the crank/front cover gasket to address all front-end covers in one order.

Cam Follower — Assembly

A roller-type cam follower assembly manufactured for the lobe hardness and profile used on the 6V92 non-turbo. Catalog attributes include precision roller concentricity, smooth rotation, and a body finish that supports stable tracking on the cam. Many customers choose to refresh followers in banks, ensuring uniform behavior across cylinders.

Flywheel Housing Cover — Large Access Cover

A service cover for the 6V92’s housing that doubles as a sealing panel. Catalog units ship flat and include the correct hole pattern for quick fit-up with the proper gasket. Standard practice is to add a new gasket when ordering a replacement cover.

Gasket — Flywheel to Salt Water Pump (Where Used)

A specific gasket used on applications that drive a pump off the flywheel housing. For 6V92 non-turbo configurations where this interface exists, the catalog gasket is cut precisely to the mating pattern for clean alignment. Frequently added to carts when customers aim for a “no-leak” outcome on accessories and driven equipment.

How to Build a Streamlined Cart for a 6V92 Non-Turbo Camshaft Refresh

Identify your focus area. If you’re targeting the camshaft nose and front gearcase, start with the crankshaft/front cover gasket, the camshaft front seal, the drive pulley hub seal, and the pulley drive shaft seal.
Stabilize the rotating support. Add the camshaft shell set, the front and rear cam bearings, and the cam bearing bolts/washer set.
Lock down timing integrity. Include the cam gear nut, the locking retainer, the lockwasher, and the cam woodruff key.
Address tracking and alignment. Add the front pulley spacer to maintain pulley runout control.
Refresh the interface gaskets. Consider the end-bearing gasket and, if working rearward, the flywheel housing gasket and any relevant accessory gaskets.
Renew motion components. If your maintenance logs show follower or push-rod wear, include a bank of cam followers, guides, push rods, and retainers.

(Note: The guidance above is provided in a catalog-centric way—prioritizing how customers typically group parts in a single purchase to reduce repeat shipping and downtime.)
