The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cylinder Head Gasket designed for the DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6555, and DPU6055 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-sourced component, it is manufactured to the exact material grade and compression specifications required by the engine it seals, ensuring a proper match to the mating surfaces of the cylinder head and block. This gasket fits an extensive range of DPU variants including He, Heh, Hec, Heap, Hesh, Hecsh, Hecs, Hechzf, and US-market configurations, making a high-utility stocking part for fleets running multiple DPU models. Genuine OEM sourcing means no guesswork on fitment — the part number cross-references directly to the original equipment specification.
Key Features
- Engine-Matched Sealing Material — Manufactured to the exact compression rating and surface profile required by the Honda-powered DPU engine family, maintaining proper combustion chamber integrity.
- Genuine OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this Cylinder Head Gasket carries the same specification as the gasket installed at the factory — no adaptation or substitution involved.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — A single part number covers DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6555, and DPU6055 reversible vibratory plate compactors across He, Heh, Hec, Heap, Hesh, Hecsh, Hecs, Hechzf, and US-market variants.
- Restores Full Engine Compression — A failed or blown head gasket causes loss of compression, overheating, and oil or coolant contamination. Replacing with the correct OEM gasket restores engine output and protects internal components.
- Critical Fuel and Combustion Safety — A properly sealed cylinder head prevents combustion gases from escaping into the oil circuit or environment, an important safety and emissions consideration on jobsite equipment.
The cylinder head gasket forms the high-pressure seal between the engine's cylinder head and the engine block, containing combustion gases during the power stroke while also sealing coolant and oil passages that pass through the same joint. On the DPU series reversible vibratory plates — which rely on a healthy, consistently running engine to deliver compaction force — a compromised head gasket quickly shows up as reduced power, rough running, overheating, or visible exhaust smoke. Left unaddressed, a blown gasket can allow combustion gases to contaminate the oil supply or allow coolant ingestion into the cylinder, leading to accelerated internal engine wear. Replacing the gasket with the correct OEM part at the first sign of failure protects the engine and keeps the compactor delivering consistent plate force.
