The Multiquip 12251 is a genuine OEM Cylinder Head Gasket designed for a wide range of Multiquip-powered equipment including MVC and MVH plate compactors, AR series rollers, QP centrifugal and trash pumps, GA and GAC generators, Whiteman and Essick mixers, MP masonry saws, and walk-behind trowels. As a factory-sourced component, the 12251 meets the exact material and dimensional standards set by Multiquip, ensuring a correct seal between the cylinder head and engine block every time. This gasket is a direct OEM replacement stocked by DHS Equipment for fast, accurate fulfillment. Whether you are servicing a MVC88VTHW plate compactor, a V305EH roller, or a WM120SH mixer, part number 12251 is the correct factory replacement.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sealing Material — Manufactured to Multiquip's exact head gasket compound and thickness spec, delivering the correct compression seal for Honda-powered equipment across multiple product families.
- Drop-In Engine Deck Fit — Sized to align precisely with the cylinder bore, head bolt pattern, and coolant/oil passages of the compatible Honda engine platform — installs straight from the box.
- Broad Cross-Family Compatibility — Fits MVC and MVH plate compactors, AR series asphalt rollers, QP pumps, GA and GAC generators, MP masonry saws, Whiteman and Essick mixers, walk-behind trowels, and more.
- Combustion Integrity — A sound head gasket maintains cylinder compression and prevents exhaust gases, coolant, or oil from crossing between passages — a failed gasket leads to power loss, overheating, or engine contamination.
- Critical Engine Safety Seal — Head gasket failure in a working engine can cause rapid overheating and internal damage; replacing with a genuine OEM gasket restores the pressure boundary to original specification.
The cylinder head gasket forms the high-pressure seal between the engine block and the cylinder head. It must contain combustion pressure while also preventing engine oil and coolant from mixing or leaking externally. On the Honda-powered engines found across Multiquip's plate compactors, rollers, pumps, saws, mixers, and generators, this gasket is subject to significant thermal cycling every time the machine runs. When a head gasket wears, warps, or fails, the engine will typically lose compression, consume coolant, produce white exhaust smoke, or overheat rapidly — all signs that replacement with the correct OEM part is needed immediately to avoid deeper engine damage.
