Wacker Neuson 5000158398 Tappet Cover Gasket

The Wacker Neuson Tappet Cover Gasket is a genuine OEM component designed for VP1135R and VP1135RW single-direction vibratory plate compactors as well as BFS 130R, BFS 130RM, BFSX 130R, BFSX 130RM, and BFS18D floor saws. Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's OEM supply chain, this gasket delivers an exact material match to the original part. Keeping this seal in good condition is essential for maintaining proper engine valve train integrity across all compatible machines.

Key Features

• OEM-Grade Sealing Material — Manufactured to the same material and compression specifications as the original, ensuring a consistent, oil-tight seal at the tappet cover interface.
• Drop-In Engine Fitment — Engineered to match the original tappet cover mounting pattern exactly, seating flush against the cover and block without trimming or modification.
• Broad Model Coverage — Fits VP1135R and VP1135RW vibratory plate compactors and the BFS 130R, BFS 130RM, BFSX 130R, BFSX 130RM, and BFS18D floor saw family.
• Prevents Oil Leaks at the Valve Cover — A degraded tappet cover gasket allows engine oil to escape from the valve train area, leading to oil loss, contamination of surrounding components, and potential engine damage over time.
• Genuine OEM Confidence — Backed by Wacker Neuson's OEM parts program, part number 5000158398 is the same gasket installed at the factory — no substitution guesswork required.

The tappet cover gasket seals the joint between the tappet (valve) cover and the engine block, preventing engine oil from escaping the valve train compartment during operation. It works under constant heat and pressure cycles, and over time the gasket material can harden, crack, or compress unevenly, breaking the seal. When it fails, oil leaks out of the engine externally, which can cause low oil levels, overheating, and damage to the engine if left unaddressed — making timely replacement with a correctly specified gasket critical to keeping the engine running cleanly.
