The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cylinder Head Gasket designed for the DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6555, and DPU6055 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this gasket meets the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original component fitted at the factory. It covers an extensive range of DPU variants — including He, Heh, Hec, Hech, Heap, Hesh, Hecsh, Hecs, and Hechzf configurations — making it the correct replacement for a wide cross-section of heavy-duty diesel reversible plates. When cylinder head sealing integrity is critical to keeping your compactor running at full compression, fitting the right OEM gasket is the only sensible choice.
Key Features
- Engineered Sealing Performance — Manufactured to OEM material grade and compression specifications, ensuring the cylinder head seal holds at correct combustion pressures without blow-by or coolant ingress.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original head gasket profile and bolt-hole pattern exactly, fitting straight onto the cylinder head and block mating surfaces without any trimming or fitting adjustments.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — Compatible with DPU4545, DPU5545, DPU6555, and DPU6055 reversible vibratory plate compactors across He, Heh, Hec, Hech, Heap, Hesh, Hecsh, Hecs, and Hechzf variants.
- Compression Integrity Restored — A failed or blown head gasket causes loss of compression, overheating, and oil or combustion gas contamination. Replacing with a correctly rated OEM gasket restores full engine output and prevents further damage to the head or block.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied as an authentic Wacker Neuson component under part number 5000207552, backed by the manufacturer's parts program for traceability and quality assurance.
The cylinder head gasket seals the joint between the engine's cylinder head and the engine block, containing combustion pressure within the cylinder while also preventing engine oil and coolant from mixing or leaking externally. On diesel-powered equipment like the DPU series reversible vibratory plates, maintaining a tight, correctly compressed head seal is essential to achieving the full compression ratio the engine needs to fire reliably and deliver consistent compaction force. When a head gasket fails — through heat cycling, overtorque, or age — the engine can lose power, overheat, consume coolant, or produce white or blue exhaust smoke, any of which will take the machine out of service until the gasket is replaced.
