The Wacker Neuson Cylinder Head Gasket 0.85 is a genuine OEM component designed for DPU6555Heh US and DPU6555Hech US vibration plates. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this gasket meets the exact material and thickness specifications required for a proper cylinder head seal on these machines. Using the correct OEM part ensures the combustion chamber maintains proper compression and sealing integrity throughout the engine's service life. If you're completing a top-end engine service or replacing a blown gasket on your DPU6555 series plate compactor, part is the correct replacement to specify.
Key Features
- OEM-Specified Thickness and Material — At 0.85mm, this gasket is manufactured to the exact crush thickness required for correct compression ratios in the DPU6555 engine, preventing over- or under-compression that can result from using an incorrect gasket.
- Direct Head-to-Block Sealing Fit — Engineered to seat flush between the cylinder head and engine block with no trimming or modification, aligning precisely with all bolt holes, coolant passages, and the combustion chamber bore.
- Fits DPU6555Heh US and DPU6555Hech US Vibration Plates — Confirmed fitment across the DPU6555 series plate compactors, covering both the standard and enhanced emission variants sold in the US market.
- Maintains Combustion Integrity — A functioning cylinder head gasket keeps combustion gases, oil, and coolant fully separated; a failed gasket causes compression loss, oil contamination, and potential engine seizure.
- Combustion Sealing Safety — A correctly installed, OEM-spec gasket prevents hot combustion gas from escaping the cylinder head joint, protecting surrounding engine components and ensuring safe, stable engine operation.
The cylinder head gasket seals the joint between the cylinder head and the engine block, creating a pressure-tight barrier that keeps combustion gases contained within the cylinder while preventing engine oil and coolant from mixing or leaking externally. It must withstand extreme heat and pressure cycles with every engine stroke, which is why correct thickness and material grade are critical — even a small deviation can lead to incomplete sealing. When a head gasket fails, the results range from lost compression and reduced engine power to coolant contamination of the oil and, in severe cases, complete engine failure requiring a full rebuild.
