Camshaft bush for Cléon engine / R5 Alpine / R5 Alpine Turbo
The original reference for this bush is 7700512850 / 7705010014

We have complied with the original specifications in terms of material and dimensions.
Contrary to what some shops claim, Renault never supplied bronze bushes.
Bronze is not suitable for these sliding speeds, which is why a material close to that used for connecting rod bearing shells
is used to manufacture these bushes. All original bushes bear the FM mark (Federal Mogul) and must be supplied in their Renault packaging.

This camshaft bush also fits Renault 4 engines.

Price includes shipping.
