The Multiquip 12200Z5K405 is a genuine OEM Cylinder Head Complete GX270UT2SMXC designed for the MVH308GH reversible plate compactor. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this cylinder head is built to the exact specification of the original component fitted to the GX270UT2SMXC engine. Buyers can confirm fitment against model code MVH308GH before ordering. DHS Equipment supplies this as a stocked OEM part, ensuring you receive the correct assembly for your machine.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Combustion Chamber Geometry — Cast and machined to the same combustion chamber dimensions as the original, preserving compression ratio and fuel efficiency in the GX270UT2SMXC engine.
- Direct Engine Swap Fitment — Mounts directly to the GX270UT2SMXC engine block with original bolt patterns and port alignment, eliminating guesswork during installation.
- Confirmed MVH308GH Compatibility — Verified for the Multiquip MVH308GH heavy-duty reversible plate compactor; always cross-reference part number 12200Z5K405 against your machine's model code before ordering.
- Restores Full Engine Output — A worn or cracked cylinder head causes compression loss, overheating, and hard starting; replacing it with this OEM unit returns the compactor to its rated centrifugal force and operating performance.
- Combustion Seal Integrity — Properly seals the combustion chamber and coolant/oil passages, preventing exhaust blow-by and oil migration that can accelerate broader engine damage.
The cylinder head seals the top of the engine's combustion chamber, containing the air-fuel mixture under pressure and directing combustion gases through the exhaust port. It also houses the valve seats, guides, and — depending on configuration — the camshaft or rocker assembly. When a cylinder head warps, cracks, or develops a blown gasket surface, compression drops sharply, the engine runs rough or fails to start, and unchecked heat can cause secondary damage to the block and valvetrain. Replacing the head with a correct OEM unit like the Multiquip 12200Z5K405 restores combustion integrity and protects the rest of the engine from cascading wear.
