The Wacker Neuson Tappet is a genuine OEM component designed for the CRT60-74LX and CRT60-74L reversible plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this tappet meets the original engineering specifications for these machines, giving you confidence that it will seat and function exactly as intended. If you're servicing a CRT60-74LX or CRT60-74L, verifying part number before ordering ensures you're getting the correct valve train component for your application.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Surface Hardness — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original hardness and dimensional tolerances, so the contact face wears evenly against the camshaft lobe over time.
- Drop-In Valve Train Fit — Engineered to the same bore diameter and crown profile as the original, allowing direct installation into the existing tappet bores without additional machining or shimming.
- Confirmed Fitment for CRT60 Series — Verified for the CRT60-74LX and CRT60-74L reversible plate compactors, covering both model variants in the CRT60 line.
- Protects Engine Timing and Lift Performance — A correctly sized tappet maintains proper valve lift and timing; a worn or out-of-spec tappet causes valve float, erratic idle, and accelerated camshaft wear.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Supplied as an authentic OEM component under part number 5200016368, not a generic substitute, so the part history and traceability are fully intact for service records.
A tappet — sometimes called a valve lifter — sits between the camshaft lobe and the valve stem in the engine's valve train. As the camshaft rotates, the tappet rides the lobe profile and transfers that motion upward to open and close the intake or exhaust valve at the correct moment in the combustion cycle. When a tappet wears, develops pitting on its contact face, or loses its proper clearance, valve timing drifts, the engine loses compression efficiency, and you'll typically hear a characteristic ticking or tapping noise at idle. Replacing a worn tappet promptly keeps the engine running cleanly and prevents the accelerated wear that spreads to the camshaft and valves if the fault is left unaddressed.
