Detailed Description

This Cloyes camshaft thrust button is a precision valve train component for performance and retrofit applications where camshaft end control matters. The 9-202 is commonly selected for aftermarket roller cams in Chevrolet and GMC engines, including classic small- and big-block platforms and later truck and van applications. This part cross-references Anchor 9202 for the same application.

Compatible With Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet C10, Chevrolet K10, Chevrolet Impala, GMC Jimmy, GMC C1500, and other listed Chevrolet and GMC applications from 1955-1996. The compact 0.640-inch length and roller bearing design help maintain consistent camshaft positioning in setups using newer sheet metal timing covers.

What It Helps Address

• Excess camshaft end play in roller cam installations
• Fitment issues when using later sheet metal covers
• Valve train instability in performance engine builds
• Camshaft thrust control concerns in retrofit roller applications
• Replacement needs for worn or damaged thrust buttons

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify camshaft, cover style, and thrust button dimensions before installation. Confirm the 0.640-inch width and 0.875-inch outside diameter match the engine setup, especially on aftermarket roller camshaft combinations. Use the listed vehicle fitment only as a guide and match the part to the specific cover and camshaft arrangement on Chevrolet and GMC engines.
