The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cylinder Head #1 designed for the GPS9700 and GS9.7V portable generator series, as well as the RD11V hydrostatic double drum vibratory roller. As a direct factory replacement, this cylinder head is manufactured to the exact specifications required by these machines, ensuring correct porting, combustion chamber geometry, and sealing surface integrity. Fitment covers multiple GPS9700 configurations including EPA-compliant and premium variants, as well as the GS9.7V and RD11V — verify your machine number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Key Features
- OEM Combustion Integrity — Manufactured to exact factory specifications for combustion chamber geometry and sealing surface finish, ensuring consistent compression and efficient fuel burn in each confirmed application.
- Direct Engine Replacement — Installs in place of the original cylinder head with no machining or reworking of mating surfaces required, using the same bolt pattern and port layout as the factory-installed component.
- Broad GPS9700 Coverage — Compatible across multiple GPS9700 configurations including EPA, premium, and wheel kit variants, as well as the GS9.7V portable generator and the RD11V tandem roller.
- Compression and Power Restoration — A cracked, warped, or worn cylinder head causes compression loss, overheating, and misfiring; replacing with this OEM part restores full power output and stable engine operation.
- Combustion System Safety — A correctly sealed cylinder head prevents combustion gas blow-by and coolant or oil intrusion into the combustion chamber — critical for safe, sustained engine operation in generator and compaction applications.
The cylinder head forms the top of the engine's combustion chamber, sealing in the compressed air-fuel mixture and containing the explosive force generated during each power stroke. It houses the intake and exhaust valves, provides mounting points for the valve train, and in liquid-cooled engines, carries coolant passages that regulate operating temperature. When a cylinder head warps, cracks, or develops a damaged sealing surface, the result is compression loss, overheating, oil or coolant contamination of the combustion chamber, and ultimately engine failure. Replacing a failed cylinder head with a correctly specified OEM component like the Wacker Neuson 5000160162 restores the tight tolerances the engine depends on to run cleanly and at full rated output.
