The Bomag 05901087 Cylinder Head Bolt is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 972 RB-4 and BC 1172 RB-4 refuse and landfill compactors. As an authentic Bomag part, this cylinder head bolt is manufactured to the exact specifications required to maintain a proper, leak-free seal between the cylinder head and engine block. It is the correct direct replacement for worn or damaged fasteners on these heavy-duty compactors, ensuring your machine returns to full operation without compromise.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's exact torque and tensile specifications for cylinder head applications, ensuring the clamping force needed for a secure head gasket seal
- Direct-Fit Replacement — matches the original thread pitch, shank diameter, and length of the factory fastener, dropping straight into position on the engine assembly
- Confirmed Fitment — compatible with BC 972 RB-4 and BC 1172 RB-4 refuse and landfill compactors, verified against Bomag's OEM parts catalog
- Engine Sealing Performance — proper cylinder head clamping pressure prevents coolant and combustion gas leaks that can lead to overheating, power loss, or internal engine damage in demanding landfill environments
- Critical Safety-Adjacent Component — a correctly torqued cylinder head bolt is essential for maintaining combustion integrity and preventing catastrophic engine failure during high-load compacting cycles
The cylinder head bolt is a critical engine fastener that clamps the cylinder head firmly against the engine block, compressing the head gasket to form a seal that keeps combustion gases, coolant, and oil in their proper channels. On heavy refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 972 RB-4 and BC 1172 RB-4, these bolts are subjected to intense thermal cycling and mechanical stress during continuous operation. When a cylinder head bolt stretches, corrodes, or fails, the head gasket seal is compromised — resulting in coolant loss, oil contamination, or compression drop — making timely replacement with the correct OEM fastener essential to protecting the engine.
