The Wacker Neuson Cylinder with Piston Complete is a genuine OEM assembly designed for the DPU 100-70 and DPU 100-70Le reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-original component, this assembly is manufactured to the same specifications as the part it replaces, ensuring a correct fit within the engine's bore and stroke geometry. This is the complete cylinder and piston assembly — everything you need to restore full compression and engine function in a single part number. Confirm compatibility with your machine's model and serial number before ordering.
Key Features
- Factory-Original Compression Specs — Genuine OEM construction means bore diameter, piston ring grooves, and wall tolerances match the engine's original design exactly, preserving correct compression ratios.
- Complete Assembly — Cylinder and piston are supplied together as a matched unit, eliminating the guesswork of sourcing and pairing individual components.
- Direct-Fit for DPU 100-70 Series — Confirmed fitment for the DPU 100-70 and DPU 100-70Le reversible plate compactors; drops into the existing engine bay without modification to mounting surfaces or fastener patterns.
- Restores Full Engine Output — A worn or scored cylinder causes power loss, hard starting, and excessive oil consumption; replacing with this assembly returns the compactor to its rated centrifugal force and compaction performance.
- Fuel System Integrity — Proper cylinder-to-piston sealing is critical to controlled combustion; a correctly seated assembly prevents fuel blow-by that can contaminate the crankcase and damage downstream engine components.
The cylinder and piston are the core of a small engine's power stroke — the cylinder forms the sealed bore in which combustion pressure acts, while the piston converts that pressure into the reciprocating force that drives the engine. Together, they govern compression, power output, and oil control. When the cylinder wall becomes worn or the piston rings lose their seal, the engine loses compression, starts poorly, burns oil, and delivers reduced force to the exciter mechanism — directly compromising the compactor's ability to achieve target soil density. Replacing the assembly as a matched unit ensures proper clearances and restores the engine to its correct operating condition.
