The Wacker Neuson 5000158617 is a genuine OEM Cylinder Head Gasket designed for BS50-4, BS50-4s, BS60-4, and BS60-4s four-stroke vibratory rammers, as well as select VP1030R and VP40H vibratory plate compactors and GPi1700 portable inverter generators. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact material and dimensional specifications set for these machines at the factory. Fitment extends across multiple configurations of the BS50-4 and BS60-4 rammer families, making it the correct choice for a wide range of serial number ranges within those series. When you need a dependable head gasket replacement, the 5000158617 is the factory-backed solution.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sealing Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact compression and material specifications for the BS50-4 and BS60-4 engine, ensuring proper combustion chamber sealing under sustained vibratory rammer operating conditions.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original head gasket profile and bolt-hole pattern, allowing straightforward installation during a top-end engine service without additional machining or fitting.
- Broad BS-Series Rammer Compatibility — Fits BS50-4, BS50-4s, BS60-4, and BS60-4s rammers across numerous serial number configurations, as well as VP1030R and VP40H vibratory plates and the GPi1700 inverter generator.
- Restores Full Compression — A failed or blown head gasket causes compression loss, hard starting, and loss of compaction force in rammer applications. Replacing with the correct OEM gasket restores rated engine output and stroke performance.
- Combustion and Coolant Sealing — The gasket seals between the cylinder head and engine block, preventing combustion gases from escaping and protecting the engine from cross-contamination between oil and combustion chambers.
The cylinder head gasket sits between the engine's cylinder head and the engine block, forming a critical pressure seal around the combustion chamber. It prevents high-pressure combustion gases from escaping past the joint and keeps engine oil out of the cylinder. When a head gasket fails — whether from overheating, age, or impact stress common in rammer applications — the engine loses compression, runs poorly, and can suffer internal damage from oil or gas mixing. Replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part like the Wacker Neuson 5000158617 restores proper engine sealing and prevents further mechanical damage.
