The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cylinder Head Gasket designed for the RT560 and RT820 series vibratory trench rollers, including RT820HT variants, as well as the DPU 9070 and DPU 100-70 reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same manufacturer specifications as the original component installed at the factory. Fitment covers a broad range of RT560, RT820, RT820HT, DPU 9070, and DPU 100-70 machines, making it the correct choice when servicing the engine on these units. Always verify your machine's model and serial number against the fitment list before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM Sealing Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact material and compression specifications, ensuring the head-to-block seal holds under operating temperature and pressure cycles.
- Direct Engine Replacement — Designed to seat precisely between the cylinder head and engine block, matching the original bolt pattern and port layout for a straightforward installation.
- Broad Fitment Coverage — Compatible with RT560 and RT820 vibratory trench rollers (including RT820HT) as well as DPU 9070 and DPU 100-70 reversible vibratory plate compactors across multiple serial ranges.
- Combustion Efficiency Maintained — A properly sealed cylinder head keeps compression where it belongs, sustaining engine power output and fuel efficiency critical for consistent compaction performance.
- Combustion Safety Compliance — A failed head gasket can allow coolant or oil intrusion into the combustion chamber, risking engine damage and unsafe operation; replacing with a genuine OEM part restores correct containment of combustion gases.
The cylinder head gasket forms the critical seal between the engine's cylinder head and the engine block, containing combustion gases, coolant passages, and oil galleries so each fluid stays in its designated path. Without a sound gasket, combustion pressure escapes, compression drops, and coolant or oil can mix — leading rapidly to overheating, loss of power, and potential engine failure. On work-intensive machines like the RT560, RT820, and DPU 100-70 that operate under sustained load in demanding compaction applications, a compromised head gasket will quickly surface as white exhaust smoke, coolant loss, or a significant drop in compaction force — all signs this part needs immediate replacement.
