Wacker Neuson 5000096381 Head Gasket (0.65mm)

The Wacker Neuson Head Gasket (0.65mm) is a genuine OEM component designed for the RT560, RT820, and RT820HT vibratory trench rollers. This OEM part is sourced directly through the Wacker Neuson parts network, ensuring you receive the correct specification gasket for your machine. The is confirmed to fit multiple machine configurations across the RT560 and RT820 series, making it the straightforward choice for engine top-end service and rebuild work on these remote-controlled trench rollers.

Key Features

• Exact OEM Thickness Specification — Manufactured to the precise 0.65mm compression thickness required for correct head sealing and combustion chamber geometry on RT-series engines.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Supplied as an authentic OEM component, meaning material grade, sealing surface finish, and bore dimensions match the original engine assembly.
• Broad RT-Series Fitment — Compatible across RT560 and RT820 vibratory trench roller variants, including the RT820HT high-tip configuration, covering multiple machine serial number ranges.
• Restores Engine Compression Integrity — A correctly seated head gasket maintains combustion pressure and prevents coolant or oil from breaching the combustion chamber, keeping the engine running at full output.
• Critical Sealing Component — As a pressure boundary between the cylinder head and engine block, using a gasket of the correct thickness and material is essential to avoid head warping, re-torque failure, or repeat leaks after reassembly.

A head gasket forms the high-pressure seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, containing combustion gases while also separating oil and coolant passages from one another and from the combustion chamber. On a compact remote-controlled trench roller like the RT560 and RT820 series, engine reliability is critical since these machines work in confined trenches where unplanned downtime is costly and recovery is difficult. When a head gasket fails or is compressed beyond its service life, the result is typically lost compression, overheating, oil contamination, or visible exhaust smoke — all signs that the sealing layer between head and block has been compromised. Replacing it with the correct OEM part at the specified thickness ensures the clamping load and sealing performance match what the engine was engineered to deliver.
