ALRIGHT before anybody jumps down my throat about, I know they dont have cams but my brother thinks they do, and i even showed him the BOTM and his still theys they have them so can you explain why there isnt a cam
 
BLASTER ENGINES ARE 2 STROKES....MEANING, NO NEED FOR VALVES,PUSH RODS, A CAMSHAFT, AND LIFTERS THAT 4 STROKES HAVE.

AND THE BLASTER ENGINE OBVIOUSLY IS TOO SMALL FOR ALL THAT TO FIT IN THERE!!

ALSO 2 STROKES RUN LOUDER CUS IT WORKS TWICE AS HARD TO ACCELERATE, 4 STROKES ARE GENERALLY QUIETER AS HAVE GREAT TORQUE AT LOW RPMS!

that was directed to your bro, obviously.....
 
2 stroke engines don't need valves because the intake and exhaust ports are directly in the cylinder wall, so as the piston moved up and down, it acts as the valve; opening and closing the ports.
the intake works on a reed valve that flaps on vacuum from the crankcase and combustion chamber. the reeds feed fuel/air/oil mix into the chamber and the crankcase.

that explaination reminds me of my old shop teacher! lmao! B-)
 
I think quam hit the nail on the head.
If he still doesn't beleive you, you could always take the head off and ask him to show you where the cam and valves are. lol=))
