Rating:

  • Part Number: UE31004P
  • Suitable for: All models from 1959 to 2004 with a V8 engine (Not Arnage 4.4)
  • Condition: This is a new aftermarket part

Sold as a single gasket, two are required per vehicle.

This is a modified aftermarket head gasket. We have become increasingly concerned that the OEM cylinder head gasket (07V103147) is no longer fit for purpose, therefore we been involved in the procurement of an alternative head gasket, UE31004P. We now only recommend this gasket for your vehicle, suitable for all models from 1959 to 2004 with a V8 engine (Not Arnage 4.4).

Our head gasket bears more similarity to the pre-Turbo gasket UE31004, hence the new part number of UE31004P. It includes the use of copper in the fire ring and the coolant and lubrication channels, aramid fibers as well as a modern composite material which confers chemical and thermal resistance as well as strength.

The UE31004P gaskets are slightly thicker than the OEM cylinder head gaskets (07V103147) but compress more easily. This has several potential advantages including:

  1. We have, in the past, identified that over-machining of cylinder heads is a potential cause of tappet noise and we offer a shorter push rod kit (UT14120-0.050P) to overcome this issue. Our gasket UE31004P can similarly assist when cylinder heads have been machined to or beyond their limits.
  2. The use of copper allows the gasket to crush more easily than the 07V103147, giving a better seal between crankcase and cylinder head, especially when the surfaces are not perfectly flat. Copper also has the advantage of being more forgiving on the studs, compared with stainless steel, which can rust.
  3. Previous failures caused by insufficient or inadequate beading on 07V103147 have been overcome by not using this type of beading on UE31004P.

Extensively tested on a variety of models including Bentley Arnage Red Label and Bentley Continental R. Please note: We highly recommend changing Radiator, water pump and especially the thermostat if there has been a head Gasket failure due to the pellets in the thermostat failing, as the engine may have overheated. Also, the correct anti-freeze should always be used.

Shipping & Delivery

As an international mail order company, our focus is to get parts to our customers as quickly and economically as possible. Where possible we will try to provide a choice of shipping options.

Our database knows the weight of every part listed on our website. In the majority of cases this allows automatic shipping options for each order to be chosen at the checkout. Unfortunately, penalties will be imposed by all shipping companies if a parcel is particularly large in size compared to its weight, this is commonly known as “voluming out”. This means that sometimes we are unable to accurately quote shipping for orders until we have packed the parcel and confirmed the shipping cost.

Please be aware that import duties and taxes may apply in countries outside of the European Union. All duties and taxes are set by the Customs Authority of the destination country and, as such, we have no control over them. Please note that it will be the responsibility of the customer to pay all duties and taxes.

Our two most commonly used methods of shipment are by the postal service and UPS.

We do, however, hold accounts with most major international couriers so please let us know if you have a preferred courier or if you would like us to ship using an account you hold with a specific courier.

Further information (including the ability to track a parcel) is available here:

If you would like to discuss a parcel with a member of our Logistics team please email us using: despatch@flyingspares.co.uk
