Motor mount bushings

[Legends16]

Hello guys,

       Im getting ready to install a stock 1200 bike motor into my car. The motor is missing  the left front metal bushing insert that goes into the block. I have one of these bushings from a broken block but Im told the pressed ones dont come out. Is this the case? In my old karting days we used to remove bearing's from spindles by putting them in the freezer and then heating the spindle with a heat gun to get the pressed bearings out. Im doubtful but woundering if this sort of thing would work on the bushing in the broken block piece.
 
       Ive also got the stock Yahmaha rubber bushings used on the bike, however the rubber bushings use a smaller bolt. Using this may alow to motor move around on the mount. Im not sure how good of an idea that is.

       My last option would be to buy motor mount bushings from 600. Ive heard mixed reviews about them.

       Thoughts?


Thanks,

Eric

Get the new rubber bushings from your dealer. They slide right in and bolt in nice. If the old "solid" bushing is stuck in you can use a slightly smaller socket and gently tap it out. Make sure there are no burs on either end that is holding it in.

Gently I cracked a block years ago by trying to get one out. LIGHTLY small hammer!

DO NOT TAP the bushing. You WILL break the case. If you can't get it out, the best bet is to drill it out to accept a 1/2" bolt and just use it. Or, drill it out completely, but this will take a pretty large drill bit.

Thanks guys, but what I have is a bushing in chunk of broken block. Getting the bushing out, assuming that I can, isnt an issue as far as damage goes. I guess what Im worried about is installing in into the good motor. Maybe sand it down a little bit?

Anyone ever use a stock bike rubber bushing? The bolt hole is a little smaller, could leave play in the motor mount.

From the battle i had getting them out I would say its impossible to remove in one pc

yup. don't waste your time. Buy a rubber one. I have them in stock, and I'm sure your local dealer does too. They are $8/ea, so not a killer.
