The Bomag 54240178 Intake Manifold is a genuine OEM component designed for BT 65/4 and BT 60/4 tampers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this intake manifold matches the original specification for a straight-forward, bolt-on replacement. It is engineered to restore proper air delivery to the engine, keeping your tamper running at full compaction performance. Confirmed fitment covers the BT 65/4 and BT 60/4 tamper models.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Air-Path Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's original tolerances, ensuring correct port sizing and sealing surfaces that aftermarket castings can miss
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — matches the original mounting pattern and port geometry on BT 65/4 and BT 60/4 tampers for a clean, rework-free installation
- Verified Tamper Fitment — confirmed for Bomag BT 65/4 and BT 60/4 tampers; order confidently using part number 54240178
- Consistent Engine Airflow — a correctly seated intake manifold maintains the air-fuel mixture the engine depends on for steady throttle response and full compaction force
- Fuel System Safety — a cracked or warped manifold can allow unmetered air into the engine, causing lean-running conditions and potential overheating; replacing it promptly protects the engine and operator
The intake manifold is the passage that channels filtered air from the carburetor or air box into the engine's combustion chamber. On a tamper like the BT 65/4 or BT 60/4, where the engine operates under constant vibration and load, the manifold must maintain an airtight seal at both ends to deliver the correct air volume for combustion. When the manifold cracks, warps, or develops a vacuum leak, the engine draws in uncontrolled air, disrupting the fuel mixture and causing rough running, loss of power, or hard starting — symptoms that directly reduce compaction output and can lead to more serious engine damage if left unaddressed.
