why would you bid on bearings when you dont know what ones they are or who makes them. or can you not tell the difference from main bearings and rod bearings. they way you made it seem you could have got axel bearings for a truck.

try not to ask an ignorant question and you wont get smart ass replies.


you have to admit, it does sound pretty damn stupid for someone to buy parts that they have no clue what they are for!!


what problem do you have??? not knowing what engine you own and what parts you need for it? it helps to ask questions about a product before youbuy it!

your right, i did not mention a brand name, but the all ford's part numbers start with f, then the rest of the numbers and letters follow. anybody who knew anything about fords would know that was a ford part number, (i would)

I think you may have misunsderstood what I was saying. Let me rephrase.

many manufacturers will put a ford part number on their part saying it is a direct replacement for that ford part number but it is made by an off-brand company. hence having that part number on the bag. until this point you did not show anyone the ebay sight of which you got them. and guess what, you are going to get flamed on this sight for trying to go cheap with ebay items. I mean seriously, you start off your thread "just curious, i was on ebay and bid on a set of bearings not knowing what they were." and expect not to get picked on a little. And in case you missed it some people did chime in with an answer or a way to help you out.


twogts4us-
PM Randy Stinchcomb - he can help ya.

bdcardinal-
theyre connecting rod bearings first used on a 1993 full size ford. i think they are for a crank thats been machined .25mm.

we all pick on each other on this site. It has happened to me at times as well when I have asked a 'not so well thought out question'. I am new to the 4.6 as well coming over from the 5.0 side. in your first post you never said what engine you had, what you were building, what your goals were......as said before these things help a person out when they are trying to help you out.

and wtf is this crap?

no sir i am not sayin your not patriotic, and thank you so much for what you've done, actually words cannot explain the debt of gratitude we owe you men and women for that. THANK YOU, and promise i am not being sarcastic., and you are very correct that i did'nt say what i was building, but i thought that my rides description at the bottom would tell. MY APPOLAGIES TO ALL.

I understand your dilemna. I made my first posts in this forum today because the forum I've been in is full of guys who just want to trash talk and criticize. Just like this thread, they don't read all the replies first. They just jump in. Ignore them. Every now and then you get a good answer. I've bought some good parts on eBay. Forget the jerks who don't read the threads and don't try to be helpful. Now watch. I'll get slammed. Added: No. Not everyone who replied is a "jerk". Just some. I've asked some questions when I didn't entirely think through it first, but the smarter forum members usually help a guy through that. (BTW guess what kind of person gives "smartass" answers?!) I may not survive long in this forum. I'll see how my posted question goes!!
