The Wacker Neuson Cylinder Head Gasket is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70 and DPU 100-70Le series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a correct seal between the cylinder head and engine block. This gasket is confirmed to fit the DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les models, making it a straightforward service replacement for diesel-powered reversible plate compactor maintenance.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Sealing Material — Engineered to withstand the combustion pressures and operating temperatures of the DPU 100-70 diesel engine, maintaining a consistent head-to-block seal over the service life of the engine.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original gasket profile exactly, seating correctly against the cylinder head and block mating surfaces without trimming or modification.
- Confirmed Fitment — Compatible with DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Protects Engine Integrity — A properly seated cylinder head gasket maintains correct compression and prevents coolant or oil from entering the combustion chamber, keeping the engine running at full output during compaction work.
- Combustion Safety — A failed or compromised head gasket can cause compression loss, overheating, and internal engine contamination; replacing with the correct OEM gasket restores safe, controlled combustion and prevents escalating engine damage.
The cylinder head gasket forms a critical pressure seal between the engine's cylinder head and the engine block. It contains combustion gases within the cylinder during the power stroke while also sealing oil and coolant passages that run through the mating surfaces. When a head gasket fails — whether through age, overheating, or improper torque — the engine can lose compression, consume oil or coolant, and produce white or blue exhaust smoke. On a reversible vibratory plate compactor like the DPU 100-70 series, where the engine is working hard in demanding compaction cycles, prompt replacement with the correct gasket is essential to restoring full engine performance and preventing more serious internal damage.
