The Wacker Neuson Head Gasket (0.85mm) is a genuine OEM component designed for the RT560, RT820, and RT820HT vibratory trench rollers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this 0.85mm head gasket meets the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original part. It is a direct-fit replacement for all listed RT560 and RT820 series trench roller configurations, ensuring a proper seal without rework or modification to mating surfaces. Keep part number on hand as a critical engine service component for scheduled rebuilds or unplanned repairs.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sealing Integrity — Manufactured to the exact 0.85mm thickness and material grade specified for this engine, ensuring consistent combustion chamber sealing pressure across the head and block mating surfaces.
- Direct-Fit Engine Replacement — Designed to drop into place on the correct RT-series engine deck without resurfacing or shimming, aligning precisely with all port, bolt, and coolant passage locations.
- Confirmed RT560 and RT820 Series Fitment — Compatible with RT560, RT820, and RT820HT vibratory trench roller models, covering multiple machine configurations within the RT remote-controlled trench roller family.
- Maintains Compression and Engine Output — A correctly seated head gasket at the specified thickness preserves the compression ratio the engine was designed to run at, supporting full power delivery in demanding trench compaction conditions.
- Fuel and Coolant Leak Prevention — A failed or improperly spec'd head gasket allows combustion gases, coolant, or oil to migrate between passages — this OEM-spec part restores the barrier that keeps each circuit isolated and the engine running cleanly.
The head gasket forms the critical seal between the engine's cylinder head and the engine block, containing combustion pressure while separating the oil, coolant, and combustion passages from one another. The 0.85mm thickness specification is not arbitrary — gasket thickness directly influences compression ratio and combustion timing, so installing the correct grade is essential to engine performance and longevity. When a head gasket fails, the results typically include coolant loss, oil contamination, loss of compression, overheating, or white exhaust smoke — all of which will take a trench roller out of service until the gasket is properly replaced.
