6V2542 Gasket Kit for Caterpillar Equipment

The 6V2542 is a gasket kit used with Caterpillar equipment, including Caterpillar industrial engines and ship equipment applications. The kit is intended for use on the 3408, 3408B and 3412 engine models, with the 3408B also listed for ship equipment applications.

This is a new aftermarket spare part manufactured by CTP (Costex Tractor Parts). The equipment manufacturer associated with the listed application is Caterpillar; Caterpillar is not identified as the manufacturer of this gasket kit.

The part is supplied under SKU 6V2542. The available product data identifies it as a gasket kit rather than as an individual gasket. The supplied data does not specify the individual gaskets, seals, installation hardware or other components included in the kit, so no additional kit contents are listed here.

Fitment

The following equipment and engine applications are identified for this gasket kit:

• Caterpillar industrial engine equipment
• Caterpillar 3408 engine
• Caterpillar 3408B engine
• Caterpillar 3412 engine
• Caterpillar ship equipment application with 3408B

The model information is stated by application category and model designation. No further machine serial-number ranges, production dates, engine arrangement numbers or configuration-specific restrictions are provided in the available data. Compatibility should therefore be checked against the engine identification and the part number 6V2542 before installation.

For the 3408B designation, the available application data contains both an engine listing and a ship equipment listing. These are retained separately because the source identifies them as different application categories. No additional Caterpillar machine series are included.

Cross-reference numbers

The available data lists 6V2542 as the Caterpillar equipment manufacturer reference number and also as the CTP aftermarket part number. No separate supplier numbers, superseded numbers or additional interchange numbers are specified.

Specifications

The stated dimensions are recorded as length 66 cm, width 3.5 cm and depth 30 cm. The available product information does not define whether these measurements refer to the packaged kit or the kit itself. The weight is stated as 3.6 lb, and no separate net or shipping weight is provided.

No material specification, gasket thickness, sealing profile, thread data, tightening requirements, installation position or component-by-component contents are provided for SKU 6V2542. These parameters are not added because they cannot be confirmed from the available product data.
