The Renault 70 hp or Type WB was a French V-8 aero engine that first ran circa 1907. It was also manufactured under license by of West Brompton, London between August 1914 and December 1918, three other companies, including Rolls-Royce, also produced the engine. A variant known as the Type WC used an external oil pump as opposed to the internal pump of the Type WB. The Renault V-8 engines were noted as inefficient but reliable, the inefficiency being mainly due to the excessively rich fuel/air mixture used to assist cooling.

| - Single overhead exhaust valve, single side inlet valve per cylinder.Although this valve arrangement is cited as "one side and one overhead valve," both valves are situated in a lateral pocket from/to which gases flow. Therefore both valves are "side valves" one on top of this lateral pocket and one on its bottom. There are no valves on the combustion chamber or on the overhead position. (en)
