The Wacker Neuson Cylinder Head is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS50-4s, BS60-4s, BS50-4, and BS60-4 series four-stroke vibratory rammers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cylinder head is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for correct compression, sealing, and combustion in these rammer engines. It is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of BS-series rammer configurations including EU-spec models. If your rammer is losing compression, overheating, or showing signs of head failure, part number restores your machine to full operating condition.
Key Features
- OEM Compression Integrity — Cast and machined to the exact combustion chamber geometry required by BS-series four-stroke rammer engines, ensuring correct compression ratios from installation.
- Drop-In Engine Fitment — Engineered to align with the existing head gasket surface, valve seats, and fastener pattern on compatible BS-series rammers — no machining or reworking of mating surfaces required.
- Broad BS-Series Coverage — Fits BS50-4, BS50-4s, BS60-4, BS60-4s, and their EU-specification variants, covering a wide range of four-stroke vibratory rammer configurations.
- Combustion Chamber Sealing — A correctly seated cylinder head maintains the gas-tight seal between the engine block and combustion chamber, which is critical for consistent ignition and power stroke performance in rammer operation.
- Verified Genuine OEM Part — Supplied under Wacker Neuson part number 5000158616, confirming this is the authorized replacement part for these rammer engine families.
The cylinder head sits at the top of the engine block and forms the upper boundary of the combustion chamber. It houses the valve ports, seals in combustion gases during the power stroke, and transfers heat away from the combustion zone. In a vibratory rammer like the BS50-4 and BS60-4 series, the engine operates under sustained load and vibration, which over time can cause head gasket failure, warping, or cracking. A damaged or worn cylinder head results in lost compression, hard starting, misfiring, or overheating — any of which will take the rammer out of service. Replacing the cylinder head with a genuine OEM part restores proper compression and combustion, getting the machine back to full trench and cohesive soil compaction performance.
