The Wacker Neuson Cylinder Head is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6555, and DPU6055 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cylinder head meets the exact specifications of the original part, ensuring proper fitment and engine integrity across a wide range of heavy-duty DPU models. Compatibility extends to numerous variants within these series, including He, Heh, Hec, Hech, Heap, and Hes configurations, covering both standard and US-market machines. When your engine is down, using the correct OEM part gets your compactor back to full operating condition without guesswork.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Combustion Chamber Geometry — Cast and machined to the original compression ratio and port dimensions, preserving the engine's rated power output and fuel efficiency.
- Direct-Fit Engine Replacement — Matches the original head bolt pattern, valve seat placement, and gasket surface of the DPU series engines so installation follows the standard service procedure.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — Compatible with DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6555, and DPU6055 reversible vibratory plate compactors across He, Heh, Hec, Hech, Heap, Hes, and related sub-variants.
- Restored Compression and Sealing — A worn or cracked cylinder head causes compression loss, overheating, and oil contamination; replacing it with this OEM part restores proper combustion sealing and engine stability.
- Fuel System and Emissions Integrity — Correct head geometry ensures proper fuel-air mixture combustion, keeping the engine within its designed operating parameters and avoiding uncontrolled exhaust output.
The cylinder head is a critical upper-engine component that seals the top of the combustion chamber, houses the intake and exhaust valves, and works together with the head gasket to contain combustion pressure. In a diesel-powered reversible plate compactor like the DPU series, the cylinder head must withstand repeated high-pressure combustion cycles while maintaining a precise seal against coolant and oil passages. When the cylinder head cracks, warps, or develops a failed sealing surface, the engine loses compression, begins consuming oil, overheats, or mixes coolant with combustion gases — any of which will take the compactor out of service. Replacing the cylinder head with part number 5000126515 restores the engine's structural and thermal integrity, returning the machine to full compaction performance.
