I don't think I'll be able to drill it out. How do I know which engine I have? 26, 30, etc? The truck (MT) has dual steering servos and square drive metal gears if that helps. I can get a 26cc head for $20, or a whole new 26 minus carb, pipe, and pullstarter for 90 at Dollarhobbies. Or if anyone has a good cylinder laying around, let me know. I had the blue loctite on the muf bolts, thinking the heat would make the red loctite fail. What to use?

Do you mean the other way around? The red one is the heat resistant one. That's what I use (the blue one loosens up because of the heat). The way I go about it to not force it too bad when taking the exhaust off is I run the engine for a few minutes, this heats up those screws and they're much easier to loosen up.
 
Red loctite

It is always recomended to use heat to loosen red LT if you can. That's why I used the blue. I'll try the red. BTW my MT has a 32cc sticker on the engine, but I've read that that may or may not be true. It DOES say 25% (more) stroke, on the sticker, so I'm thinking the cylinder may be stock 26cc one. I'll pull the cyl and measure the piston. Anyone have some useful numbers? I was thinking a bigger piston and cylinder but this thing barely stays together as it is. lol
 
Yeah, the first batch of MTs with 32cc had sticker problems. You can't rely on the box or the engine sticker. You have to measure the piston if you aren't sure.
 
It was both ways for a few people. They didn't "sell" the 32cc until all of the 30s were gone. A few lucky people got the 32 instead of the 30.
 
It is running great, but it would be a bummer to find out it's not actually a 32cc
 
:DJust be happy it runs great and ur having fun.

If I send u a sticker saying 34cc would that make better knowing it's bigger than a 32cc???

Have ur fun and don't dwell to much on this....
 
There were split batches of the 32 some are 4 bolt some are 2 bolt .

I guess you got the later edition of the 32cc?

Got it recently and to be honest in was not expecting the engine to run as good as it does. I have a jetpro rear Mount and runs great.
