Workshop Manual Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Phantom V Bentley S Bentley S2 Bentley Continental S Bentley Continental S2 Including:Supplements for the Series III and 3 cars PREFACE {! E 2 E '- This Workshop Manual has been compiled in an endeavourto assistservicepersonnel responsible for maintenance and overhaul, in properly maintaining the high standard of engineeringachievedin the production of Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars. The book is copiously illustrated with photographs and orthographic reproductions which are suitably annotated in order to provide quick referencewith minimum searching. Although all information contained in the Manual was correct when going to print, modificationswhich may subsequentlydevelopwill be kept up to date by meansof Service Bulletins. Information given in the latest Bulletin will supersedethat given in the Section of the Manual to which it refers,until such times as the Manual is re-issuedwith the necessary amendments. lnstructions for the maintenanceand overhaul of the 52 engine and the Refrigeration Systems fitted to the Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars are contained in individual volumes. Special Workshop Tools referred to in these publications and the Workshop Manual are listed and illustrated in a further publication. Personnel of Rolls-Royce Service Departments at Hythe Road, Willesden, London N.W.l0, and at Pym's Lane, Crewe, are always prepared to answer queries or give advice on individual servicing problems, but it will assist them if queries are accompaniedby the chassisnumber of the car. lnformation contained herein applies to the following cars: Rolls-Royce Bentley Silver Cloud S1 Silver Cloud Long Wheelbase Sl Long Wheelbase Silver Cloud II 32 Silver Cloud II Long Wheelbase 52 Long Wheelbase Phantom V Continental Sl Continental 52 a N r V) F The following publications are available for referencein conjunction with this Manual: TSD 47I TSD 720 TSD 753 TSD 723 TSD 727 TSD 744 Automatic Gearbox ServiceManual Car Interior Cooling System.

There is little difference between the form of the American national thread and the unified thread; therefore the new threads are largely interchangeable with S.A.E. standards. They are not, however, interchangeable with BSF, and although BSW have the same number of threads per inch as the Unified National Coarse series, interchanging is not recommended due to a difference in the thread form.
