Help Renault 668 engine part needed

[itscervo]

I have a 1957 Renault Goelette & I need a small end bearing for the conrod & a rear camshaft bearing. The question is does anyone have a source for these parts as thats all I need to complete the engine rebuild. I have tried to register on the R2087 forum but the question to validate the application seems to be lost in translation as I can't get the answer right.

Thanks,
Allan.

Hi Allan,
- Try these,they are superquick and were the Only source I could find that could supply me with an "impossible" bearing earlier on.
they are: www.123Roulement.com ( Le spécialiste du roulement sur Internet)
If you have the code embossed on sides of bearing that's all you need as bearing codes are standarized.
If not, measure the inner diam / outer Diam/width of bearing and the type of rollers balls or needles..
Hope you get it sorted soon /-Reid

Hello Reid, apologies for the late reply. I couldn't find the sizes needed so I ended up buying a full set of cam bearings & a new camshaft. Small end bearings were sourced locally & hopefully that is the end of the engine spend, next is the bearings for the gearbox.
