This camshaft retainer bolt washer, GM part number 97225125, is the thrust washer under the camshaft gear retainer bolt on the 6.6L Duramax diesel. GM also calls it the engine timing sprocket thrust washer. It fits every engine from the 2001 LB7 through the current L5P in Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks, plus Duramax Express and Savana vans and Kodiak and TopKick medium-duty trucks. The washer gives the bolt a solid, even clamping surface against the cam gear, which helps the bolt hold its torque. When the cam gear is removed for timing, cam or front cover work, a new washer is cheap insurance against reusing a worn or damaged part.
