Known for durability and reliability, it requires precise maintenance and quality replacement parts to continue operating at peak performance. Diesel Pro Power proudly serves more than 40,000 satisfied customers worldwide, supplying genuine cylinder head assemblies, gasket kits, valve components, and supporting hardware designed specifically for the 6V92 non-turbo.

Below, you’ll find a complete breakdown of all the essential cylinder head parts and related components for the 6V92, organized to help operators, fleet managers, and marine engineers quickly find exactly what they need.

Complete Cylinder Head Assemblies for Detroit Diesel 6V92

A healthy cylinder head is the foundation of engine performance. On the 6V92 non-turbo, the cylinder head manages combustion, airflow, and cooling while housing the valvetrain components. Diesel Pro Power offers:

• Bare Cylinder Head (New): A clean slate for rebuilds and custom installations. Machined to OEM specifications, ready for installation of valves, guides, and springs.

• Cylinder Head with Valves and Springs: Pre-assembled to save time, ideal for quick replacement in field service or marine applications where downtime is costly.

• Complete Cylinder Head Assembly: Fully dressed with valves, springs, guides, seals, and all major hardware preinstalled. The best choice for full top-end rebuilds when both speed and reliability matter.

Each option ensures durability and compatibility with both 6V92 and its larger sibling, the 12V92, offering operators flexibility depending on the scale of repair or rebuild required.

Cylinder Head Gaskets & Sealing Components

The integrity of the cylinder head depends on high-quality gaskets. For the Detroit Diesel 6V92 non-turbo, Diesel Pro Power stocks:

• Cylinder Head Gasket Kits: Each 6V92 engine requires two gasket kits, while the 12V92 requires four. These gaskets seal combustion chambers and coolant passages, preventing leaks and maintaining compression.

• Rocker Cover Gasket Kits: Available for new-style aluminum covers, ensuring oil sealing and reducing the risk of leaks at the top of the engine.

• Valve Cover Breather Seals & Manifold Gaskets: Precision-fit components that ensure the top end remains tight against pressure, vibration, and thermal cycles.

Proper sealing is critical to maintaining compression ratios and ensuring the 6V92’s reputation for steady, continuous-duty performance.

Valves, Guides, and Springs for 6V92

The valvetrain controls airflow and exhaust, directly impacting performance and fuel efficiency. Diesel Pro Power supplies every individual part needed for precise operation:

• Exhaust Valves & Intake Valves: Manufactured for high-temperature resistance and durability under continuous duty cycles.

• Valve Guides & Valve Seats: Essential for stabilizing valve motion and preserving cylinder head life.

• Valve Seals: Prevents oil from leaking into combustion chambers, reducing smoke and oil consumption.

• Valve Springs & Spring Washers: Calibrated for proper tension to ensure valves open and close at the right timing without loss of compression.

• Valve Caps & Bridges: Provide consistent alignment and support for valve operation across multi-valve systems.

Together, these components allow the 6V92 to maintain precise valve timing and maximum efficiency under load.

Rocker Arms, Shafts & Brackets

The rocker system transmits motion from the camshaft to the valves. Available components include:

• Left & Right-Hand Rocker Arms: Engineered for long-term reliability, critical in balancing valve actuation.

• Injector Rocker Arms: Specifically designed for injector operation, available rebuilt to OEM standards.

• Rocker Arm Shafts: Provides support and alignment across the entire rocker assembly.

• Rocker Arm Brackets & Bolts: Essential for securing rocker assemblies to the head, ensuring consistent operation under vibration.

These parts ensure smooth operation of the cylinder head’s moving components, minimizing wear on both valves and injectors.

Push Rods, Cam Followers & Related Hardware

Supporting the motion of the valvetrain, these parts convert rotational motion into linear actuation:

• Push Rods & Retainers: Durable steel rods transferring cam follower motion to rocker arms.

• Push Rod Springs & Spring Seats: Cushioning and stabilizing push rod action to reduce stress.

• Cam Followers & Guides: Smooth rolling action ensures precision timing and extended camshaft life.

By maintaining correct geometry, these parts keep the 6V92 engine in synchronization, preventing misfires and reducing premature wear.

Fuel Line & Injector Tube Components

The cylinder head supports fuel delivery systems, and Diesel Pro Power provides every connection required:

• Injector Tubes: Precisely formed for sealing and durability under high fuel pressure.

• Flaring Die Tools: Designed for accurate injector tube installation and reconditioning.

• Fuel Pipe Connectors, Washers, and O-Rings: Ensure leak-free connections between fuel rails and injectors.

• Fuel Jumper Lines (Short and Long): Available in both old-style and new-style designs, ensuring compatibility with different engine configurations.

These components are vital for consistent fuel delivery, preventing injector misfires, and supporting optimal combustion efficiency.

Cooling & Water Outlet Components

Efficient cylinder head cooling prevents overheating and ensures long service life:

• Water Manifold Gaskets: Provide a tight seal where the water rail meets the cylinder head.

• Cylinder Head Water Outlet Plates: Durable plates that help channel coolant out of the head.

• Seal Kits for Breathers & Water Connections: Critical to preventing leaks in marine environments where engines run under continuous load.

Maintaining cooling system integrity is essential in marine engines, especially in hot climates and heavy workloads.

Fasteners, Washers, & Plug Kits

Cylinder head assembly requires durable hardware:

• Head Bolts: Precisely engineered to handle torque requirements, ensuring head sealing integrity.

• Washers for Head Assemblies: Prevent bolt loosening due to vibration.

• Plug Kits: Used to seal unused passages in the cylinder head, ensuring oil and coolant containment.

Using the correct fasteners ensures long-term reliability and prevents head warping or gasket failure.

Tools for Cylinder Head Service

Specialized service tools make maintenance more precise and efficient:

• Feeler Gauges: For calibrating valve lash settings to exact Detroit Diesel specifications.

• Socket Wrenches for Injector Lines: Ensure proper torque and secure installation of fuel lines.

• Flaring Dies: Enable injector tube reconditioning, extending the life of fuel system components.

These tools are recommended for every workshop performing top-end maintenance on the 6V92.

Paints, Switches & Accessories

To round out head service and maintenance, Diesel Pro Power also provides:

• Detroit Diesel Green Paint: For OEM-correct finish and corrosion resistance.

• Temperature Switches: Ensure accurate monitoring of cylinder head operating conditions.
