The Wacker Neuson Cylinder Head Gasket is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6055, and DPU6555 series diesel reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a genuine Wacker Neuson part, is manufactured to the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original, ensuring a correct seal between the cylinder head and engine block. This gasket covers a wide range of DPU configurations including Heh, Hech, Heap, Hec, Hesh, and US-market variants across the DPU4545, DPU5545, and DPU6555 families. When you need to restore engine integrity on your reversible plate compactor, this is the part that installs directly in place of the original.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Sealing Material — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact compression and material specifications, delivering the combustion-chamber seal integrity these diesel engines depend on.
- Drop-In Head Replacement — Engineered to the original head-bolt pattern and deck surface profile, so it seats correctly during reassembly without rework or shimming.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — Fits DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6055, and DPU6555 reversible vibratory plate compactors across multiple regional and configuration variants, including US-market models.
- Combustion Integrity Restored — A failed or blown head gasket causes compression loss, coolant contamination, and rough running; replacing it with 5000207549 restores full engine output and smooth operation.
- Fuel and Coolant Containment — Correctly seals all oil, coolant, and combustion-gas passages in the head, preventing cross-contamination that can cause rapid engine wear or failure.
The cylinder head gasket sits between the engine block and the cylinder head, creating a pressure-tight seal that keeps combustion gases, engine oil, and coolant in their correct passages. On the diesel engines powering Wacker Neuson DPU reversible vibratory plates, maintaining this seal is critical — a compromised gasket allows compression to escape, reducing compaction force and causing the engine to run poorly or overheat. When a head gasket fails, coolant can mix with oil, accelerating wear throughout the engine; prompt replacement with the correct OEM part prevents secondary damage and returns the compactor to full working condition.
