The Wacker Neuson Cylinder Head is a genuine OEM component designed for DPU6555Heh, DPU6555Hech, DPU5545Heh, DPU5260Hehb+, and DPU6275Hehb+ series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same tolerances and material standards as the original — ensuring a correct seat, gasket interface, and valve train alignment right out of the box. This cylinder head is a verified replacement for multiple DPU-series machines, so confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure an exact match.
Key Features
- OEM Combustion Chamber Integrity — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to precise bore, deck surface, and port geometry specs, preserving correct compression and combustion efficiency in the engine.
- Drop-In Engine Deck Replacement — Matches the original bolt pattern, coolant passages, and valve seat positions so it seats directly onto the engine block without modification.
- Broad DPU-Series Compatibility — Fits DPU6555Heh, DPU6555Hech, DPU5545Heh, DPU5260Hehb+, and DPU6275Hehb+ plate compactors under a single part number.
- Sustained Engine Output — A correctly sealed cylinder head maintains proper compression, allowing the engine to deliver full power to the exciter unit and consistent compaction force plate-to-ground.
- Combustion Seal Safety — A failed or cracked cylinder head risks exhaust gas leakage and loss of engine control; using a genuine OEM replacement restores the sealed combustion boundary required for safe, controlled engine operation.
The cylinder head forms the top closure of the engine's combustion chamber, sealing in the high-pressure gases produced during each power stroke while housing the intake and exhaust valves that control airflow. It works in combination with the head gasket and engine block to maintain the compression ratio the engine was designed to run at. When a cylinder head cracks, warps, or develops a compromised sealing surface — often from overheating — compression drops, the engine loses power, and exhaust gases can escape into the cooling or oil circuit, leading to rapid additional engine damage if left unaddressed.
