Hi, i was wondering if anybody knew were i can get a detailed manual on how to take apart and put back together a CEN monster truck engine. Because it does not run and i took it to hobby town usa and they said it is probably gunked up with crap from it setting around for a year with bad fuel in it. so i wanted to try and take it apart and clean it out myself, than paying $30 an hour for them to work on it.

i would of got the manual but you didnt list what truck.
Go to their site, Cenracing.com and download the manual.

there is no detailed manual but there is a exploded view of the engine in the back of the manual. The engine comes apart really easy thou. Just remove the head and then the 4 screws that holds it to the motor mounts. Then unscrews three screws on teh pull starter and then 4 more on the back plate. After that u will be able to see in side the engine very good. Spary some nitro cleaner and there then wipe it out. After that drop some after run oil in there and resamble just like you took it apart. Rember to use lock tite on the motor mount screws when u put it back together.

I forgot to mention this part. THere is a spring and metal pin inside the engine. It connects teh back plate and the crank shaft. Make sure you do not lose it and or forget to put it back in. heres the manual page for u.

ok thank you, if i run into any problems i'll be back.

well i was just on the cen racing website and i read something on it that said you can send in your old worn out engine and they will send you a brand new engine. I just e-mailed them to see if there is any restrictions. That would be so sweet if i could get a brand new engine for free, just pay shipping. It would save me a big headache. Ok, peace [sm=tongue_smile.gif]

its more you send them your engine and some cash you get a new engine , its usually half price for a engine swap

oh, i see now i miss read it[:@] And the engine i have is a NT-16

Nick2618

IMO all these engine swap progras are rip offs. THey usually charge you more then u could get a new one on ebay for.

Half price off the factory retail price,wich is not that great of deal,especially with the shipping.Not going to be to much of a party pooper here,but if you search the net good enough,you can find a new NT orNX.16 OR.18 for around $76.00 and keep your old engine to learn to rebuild.Its really easy and the good part of it is you can get your rebuild kit for around $25.00 on ebay

I have a cen engine I could sell you brand new never ran it cause I put a os engine into my funfactor. It's a .18 that should fit your truck I was thinking $50 just let me know. you are not to far from me.

flipmode13563

oh yea, I have a fun factor mt 2. If you think it would fit in my truck,I might take you up on that offer. Because i think my engine is garbage I never really broke it in like you were supost to. You can pm me if you want to talk more about it. ok, Peace
