Rolls-Royce & Bentley V8 Cylinder Head Gaskets for all models from 1959 to 2002 - Now in Stock!

We are proud to be able to release our Prestige Parts® replacement for the discontinued Bentley V8 Cylinder Head Gasket (part number 07V103147 or UE31004), for Rolls-Royce and Bentley V8 engines manufactured 1959 to 2002.

After more than 3 years, this project represents one of our most expensive and advanced products to date, incorporating state-of-the-art design, tooling, and manufacturing techniques.

The Prestige Parts® Cylinder Head Gasket (07V103147.01-X) includes enhancements that alleviate limitations caused by use of the Bentley gasket in applications for which it was not strictly intended. The original Bentley gasket was designed for use in brand new, lower performance engines, but the Prestige Parts gasket incorporates additional features appropriate to the wide range of vehicle applications for which it is now required.

In this trailer video John Tupper introduces the new gasket and the changes to the design... below is the IN-DEPTH look at how it works and what changes have been made to improve performance of the gasket.

Here John goes into more detail about the improvements we've made to this gasket:

• Critical solid core stainless steel fire rings, able to withstand the high heat and pressures generated in the latest 400+BHP engines.
• Compressible cutting edge gasket body material incorporating high-strength bonded Aramid fibre, with 70% rebound – ideal for older engines where mating faces are imperfect or non-parallel – for a perfect seal.
• Tanged mesh backbone – provides lateral strength across the gasket body and aids gasket compression.Reduced delta between fire ring and gasket body to aid sealing on older engines.
• Controlled silicon tracking to spread initial compression load and eliminate fluid paths in pre-bedding in/start-up state.
• Three-year, 36,000 mile (58,000 kilometre) warranty.
