The Wacker Neuson Cylinder Head Gasket 0.55 is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU6555Heh and DPU6555Hech vibration plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this gasket carries the exact thickness specification — 0.55 — required to maintain correct compression and sealing integrity in these machines. Confirmed fitment covers the DPU6555Heh US, DPU6555Hech US, and DPU6555Hehapn model variants, so you can order with confidence knowing this is the right part for your machine.
Key Features
- OEM Sealing Specification: — Manufactured to the precise 0.55mm thickness required for correct combustion chamber sealing on these Honda-powered plate compactors — no guesswork on compression ratio.
- Drop-In Head Replacement: — Seats directly against the cylinder head mating surface with no trimming or fitting adjustments, restoring the original clamping surface geometry.
- Verified Fitment: — Compatible with DPU6555Heh US, DPU6555Hech US, and DPU6555Hehapn vibration plate models under part number 5100062287.
- Compression Integrity Restored: — A correctly installed cylinder head gasket maintains combustion pressure and prevents coolant or oil intrusion into the cylinder — a failed gasket causes loss of power, overheating, and engine damage.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part: — Supplied as an authentic OEM component, ensuring the material grade and crush characteristics match what was installed at the factory on your compactor.
The cylinder head gasket seals the joint between the engine block and the cylinder head, containing combustion gases and preventing oil or coolant from entering the combustion chamber. It must maintain this seal under repeated thermal expansion and contraction cycles, which is why gasket thickness and material grade are critical — even a small deviation can lead to uneven clamping, blow-by, or fluid contamination. When a cylinder head gasket fails, the engine typically loses compression, overheats, or begins consuming oil, and continued operation risks permanent engine damage.
