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 OEM replacement, this gasket is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by Wacker Neuson for a secure, leak-free seal between the cylinder head and engine block. Verified fitment covers the DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les models — making the the correct choice when servicing any machine in this heavy-duty diesel compactor lineup. Order with confidence knowing you're installing the same part that left the factory.
Key Features
- OEM Sealing Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact compression and material specifications, ensuring a consistent, pressure-tight seal at the cylinder head joint.
- Drop-In Fitment — Matches the original bolt pattern and head deck profile of the DPU 100-70 engine, so it seats correctly without trimming or modification.
- Confirmed Compatibility — Fits the DPU 100-70, DPU 100-70Le, and DPU 100-70Les reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Engine Protection — A sound cylinder head gasket maintains proper combustion chamber pressure, preventing coolant or oil from entering the cylinder and protecting the engine from overheating or internal contamination.
- Critical Fuel and Combustion Safety — A failed head gasket can allow combustion gases to escape or fluids to mix, posing a risk to engine integrity and operator safety; using the correct OEM replacement eliminates that risk.
The cylinder head gasket forms the seal between the engine's cylinder head and the engine block, closing off the combustion chamber so that compression, fuel combustion, and fluid passages all remain separated and contained. On a diesel-powered compactor like the DPU 100-70, this gasket operates under significant heat and pressure with every cycle, making material quality and dimensional accuracy essential. When the gasket fails — typically through compression loss, overheating, or age — the engine may lose power, consume coolant, or produce white or blue exhaust smoke, all of which signal the need for immediate replacement.
