Industry Update: Rolls-Royce & Bentley V8 Cylinder Head Gaskets

We are proud to announce the upcoming release of our Prestige Parts® replacement for the discontinued Bentley V8 Cylinder Head Gasket (07V103147 or UE31004), for Rolls-Royce and Bentley V8 engines manufactured 1959 to 2002. Three and a half years in the making, 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:

Application: This gasket is suitable for all Rolls-Royce and Bentley vehicles manufactured from 1959 to 2002 (excluding Silver Seraph and Arnage, equipped with BMW engine, Arnage R, Arnage RL & Arnage T models).

  • 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.
