Verify your model code against the fitment list — 12210ZH8415 is the correct part for GAC2.2HZ, MVC82VH, and MVC82VHW units. Sourced directly through DHS Equipment, this is a genuine Multiquip part backed by OEM quality assurance.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Combustion Integrity — Manufactured to the original casting and porting specifications for the GX160K1 engine, ensuring correct compression ratios and combustion chamber geometry.
- Direct-Swap Assembly — Replaces the complete cylinder head as a single unit, matching original bolt patterns, valve seat positions, and port dimensions for a straightforward installation.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for GAC2.2HZ gasoline-powered generators and MVC82VH and MVC82VHW plate compactors running the GX160K1 engine configuration.
- Sustained Engine Output — A correctly sealed cylinder head maintains proper compression, which directly supports consistent power delivery and fuel efficiency across both generator and compactor applications.
- Critical Sealing Component — A cracked, warped, or failed cylinder head allows combustion gases to escape and coolant or oil to migrate into the cylinder, leading to rapid engine damage; replacing with an OEM unit restores full sealing integrity.
The cylinder head is one of the most structurally critical components in a small engine — it caps the top of the cylinder bore, houses the valves, and forms the upper boundary of the combustion chamber. When the cylinder head is in good condition, it maintains the compression needed for reliable ignition and efficient power output. If the head warps from overheating, develops cracks, or if the gasket surface deteriorates, compression drops sharply, the engine runs poorly or not at all, and internal contamination can follow. Replacing the cylinder head assembly with a genuine OEM unit like the 12210ZH8415 restores the precise tolerances the GX160K1 engine depends on.
