Motor Mount Bushings (Flexiblocs)
top: #2 tube, #6 left Flexibloc, #3 right Flexibloc
bottom: #6a red rubber, #3a red rubber
The red rubbers replace just the old black rubber part. The old bushing metal shell and metal center tube are re-used. The shell is not removed from the frame so no special press tool is needed. Instead the black rubber is removed with a knife.
But the red rubber holes 9.7 and 12.4 are too small for the center tubes 11.3 and 14.0. The small hole must be widened by drilling. The large hole is a very tight fit without drilling. Drilling is recommended for both.

Piston (at skirt) to cylinder clearance: new is 0.005 to 0.01 mm (0.0002 to 0.0004″), max is 0.05 mm (0.002″).
This is a very small clearance, measured at the bottom of the piston, allowed by the all-aluminum cylinder.
Usually pistons are measured at the bottom skirt, called “lower” below, because when cold, that is the widest part.
The bottom is slightly wider than the top, because there is less material, and therefore less thermal expansion.
When the piston is hot, the bottom and top are the same. The whole piston expands, as does the cylinder.
Motobecane measures just below the rings, called “upper” below. On these pistons lower is 0.02 mm bigger.
Motobecane original pistons have no marks on top, listed below as “(M)”. Inside has the M logo (some also AJ3).
< Some original replacement pistons have this logo stamped on top, listed as “(Θ)”. Inside says FRANCE.
They also have a size letter stamped on top. These were original replacements from Motobecane USA.
Other vintage aftermarket have no logo on top, listed below as “(O)”.

Motobecane Crankshafts: are the same for variator and non-variator pulley-clutches.
Top is used, pre-1980, shorter right side threads. Takes special 16mm bearings 6302QR 16x42x13.
Bottom is new 1980-later original, machined to 15mm at bearings, to take ordinary bearings 6302 15x42x13.
Myrons offers new pre-1980 crankshafts, that take special 6302QR bearings.
Myrons offers a new original 1980-later crankshaft that has been machined from 16mm to 15mm at the center where the bearings press on. The press fit is precise and correct. The piston pin and needle bearing are new, included, and factory sealed in wax, that peels off. Two 6302 bearings, and two 15x21x4 seals are included. Price is $180.
It is long enough to take the 1980-later hex nut, sold separately at $10. But it will also take the pre-1980 square-hole nut, if the extra threads are ground off.
