The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cylinder Head Gasket designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson equipment, including VP and WP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, PT2 trash pumps, CT36-6 concrete trowels, GP2600 and GPi3200 portable generators, BFS floor saws, BPU2540 reversible vibratory plates, and PG3 dewatering pumps. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this Cylinder Head Gasket matches the exact material grade and sealing specification of the part originally installed at the factory. It is a direct-fit replacement that installs without modification, ensuring a correct combustion chamber seal on every application listed. Confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure this is the right part for your machine.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Sealing Material — Manufactured to the exact material composition and compression rating Wacker Neuson specifies for combustion chamber integrity on these engines.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Port openings, bolt-hole pattern, and thickness match the original gasket, so the head seats correctly without shimming or trimming.
- Broad Fitment Across Multiple Equipment Families — Compatible with VP and WP vibratory plates, PT2 trash pumps, CT36-6 trowels, GP2600 and GPi3200 generators, BFS floor saws, BPU2540 reversible plates, and PG3 dewatering pumps.
- Engine Compression Preserved — A properly seated cylinder head gasket maintains the combustion seal that drives full engine power; a failed gasket causes compression loss, overheating, and oil or coolant contamination.
- Combustion Safety — A correctly torqued and properly spec'd head gasket prevents exhaust gas blowby and the risk of engine damage or fire associated with a failed seal on fuel-powered equipment.
The cylinder head gasket sits between the engine block and the cylinder head, forming an airtight and fluid-tight seal around the combustion chamber, coolant passages, and oil galleries. It is responsible for containing the high-pressure gases produced during combustion and preventing engine oil or coolant from mixing with those gases or entering the cylinder. When a head gasket fails — typically through heat stress, improper torque, or age — the engine loses compression, may overheat, and can suffer serious internal damage if not addressed promptly. Replacing a worn or blown gasket with the correct OEM part, such as Wacker Neuson 5000156457, restores the combustion seal and protects the engine from further deterioration.
