Exotic Car Parts stocks a comprehensive range of engine parts for the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I, II and III and Bentley S1, S2 and S3 — the Crewe-built motor cars produced from 1955 to 1966. We stock oil filter kits, engine big end bearing sets and a full range of engine components covering both the straight-six and V8 engines used across this range. Always have your chassis number ready before ordering — engine parts differ significantly between the straight-six and V8 cars. Call us on +1 845 595 9822 seven days a week.
What Engine Does the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Have?
The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I and Bentley S1 (1955–1959) use a 4.9 litre inline six-cylinder engine — the final development of the long-running post-war straight-six that also powered the Silver Dawn and Bentley MkVI. The Silver Cloud II, Silver Cloud III, Bentley S2 and Bentley S3 (1959–1966) introduced a completely new all-aluminium 6.23 litre V8 engine. This V8 was a significant advance — lighter, more powerful and with considerably more torque than the straight-six it replaced. Engine parts are entirely different between the two engine families and are not interchangeable. Always confirm your model, chassis number and engine type before ordering any engine component.
Oil Filter Kit & Engine Bearings
We stock the genuine oil filter kit (RH10003) at $110, covering Rolls-Royce and Bentley models from 1955 to 1977 including the Silver Cloud, S Series, Silver Shadow and T Series. We also stock the engine big end bearing set (RE15121SA) at $650. Big end bearings are a critical engine rebuild component — worn big end bearings present as a heavy knocking noise from the lower engine under load, most noticeable at low RPM. We stock standard and undersize big end bearings and main bearings for both the straight-six and V8 engines.
Full Engine Parts Range — Silver Cloud & Bentley S Series
We stock the full range of engine components for the Silver Cloud and Bentley S Series including bearings, gaskets and gasket sets, water pumps, thermostats, timing components, camshaft parts, pistons and rings, oil pumps, fuel pumps, carburettor parts and rebuild kits, engine mounts, valve components, rocker covers and seals, crankshaft components, cylinder head parts and manifold gaskets.
