The Wacker Neuson Cylinder Head is a genuine OEM component designed for DPU6555Heh, DPU6555Hech, and DPU6555 series vibratory plates. As a direct factory replacement, this cylinder head matches the original specifications of the engine it serves, ensuring a correct seat-to-block interface and proper torque retention straight out of the box. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part carries the same manufacturing standard as the component that left the factory with your machine. If your plate compactor has developed a compression leak, overheating issue, or visible head damage, this is the authorized replacement to restore it to full working condition.
Key Features
- OEM Combustion Chamber Integrity — Cast and machined to the same tolerances as the original, preserving correct compression ratios and combustion sealing for the DPU6555 engine.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Matches original port locations, valve seat positions, and head bolt pattern so installation follows the standard engine reassembly procedure without reworking mating surfaces.
- Confirmed Fitment for DPU6555 Series — Verified for DPU6555Heh US and DPU6555Hech US vibratory plate compactors, covering multiple serial number ranges.
- Compression and Power Restoration — A failed or warped cylinder head causes loss of compression, hard starting, and reduced compaction force; replacing it with 5100065040 restores full engine output and plate performance.
- Combustion System Safety — A correctly sealed cylinder head prevents hot gas blow-by and uncontrolled combustion pressure, protecting both the operator and surrounding engine components from heat-related damage.
The cylinder head forms the top seal of the engine's combustion chamber, closing off the space above the piston where the air-fuel mixture is compressed and ignited. It also houses the valve seats, ports, and spark plug or injector bore that together control the flow of gases into and out of the cylinder. When a cylinder head cracks, warps, or loses its seal — whether from overheating, a blown head gasket, or physical damage — the engine loses compression, runs poorly, and can suffer further internal damage if left unaddressed. Replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the engine producing the power your plate compactor needs to deliver consistent, effective compaction.
