I have looked in the FAQ and could not find the part # . maybe there is a technical name that iam not aware of ?

Is there any special instructions when installing it ? I believe it gets pressed in ?

TIA !

What so hard to understand?

Well if one THINKS that he/she needs one , and someone says you dont that ='s confusion !!! Is that so hard to understand !?!?!?

This place is the MOST helpless forum on the internet ! I have said this before and I will say it again . I belong to several forums, problably over 10 and never had to think about the penalty/lashing for posting a question . Here is the census on MOST forums as how to treat rookie/veteran members ...

When you�re on the Titanic, help the people to the lifeboats...do NOT yell at the iceberg. It won�t do you one ounce of good.

That�s the philosophy we take . If a member has a question to ask, the majority of Newbies will ask the question to receive a response directed at them individually. How many times the question has been asked and answered by other members almost seems irrelevant since the answer is not directed specifically at them.

It is soooooooo easy to yell at that iceberg and tell people to read, read, read, but if you think about it, we could probably respond to almost every question asked in such a manner.

Not here.

Since this site is dedicated to the Newbies out there, we believe in helping people to the lifeboats.

Don�t bother telling me how much people should read and do their homework before posting or asking a simple question...I would agree with you. And don�t tell me that Newbies posting the same questions over and over again fills the forum up with garbage posts...I would agree with you.

Once we come to grips on the reality that the Newbies will post the same questions regardless of how many times the answer has been posted in the past, regardless of what we say or think on the issue, and regardless of what the forum rules state...we�re confronted with three simple choices when we see an obvious newbie question:

1) Help the person out by answering their question.
2) Ignore his or her post because you have better things to do than provide the same response repeatedly.
3) Tell the person off or get pissy with them.

On this site, 1 and 2 above are acceptable...number 3 is not.

Think about when you were in school. Asking questions is part of the learning process. You asked questions, even though the matterial was discussed in class...and even when the answer was located in your text book.

If you're fed up or don�t want to answer a question, I suggest doing number 2 above. Doing #3 above will get you a nasty PM from the Mods. We treat everybody with respect here...even the Newbies.

some people around here should adopt #2 ! Oviously the others that are helpfull this is no way directed towards you , and for the others ... ahh screw it, you just won't get it anyways !

FLAME AWAY !!! That should be something you shouldnt have to "search" for .

Sorry Rob, but Stazi answered your questioned. You did come here and ask a question no? Then someone gives YOU and answer that confuses YOU because of YOUR misconceptions. Stazi isn't confused, he's 100% correct. He wasn't being a dick, he simply quoted his reply and asked what was so confusing about it?

Unless you are planning on mating your 3.0L to CD4E Automatic transmission in your contour, YOU CANT USE IT! It's physically impossible to keep it AND mount the flywheel ... something has to give. Not to mention, this subject has been covered 1,000+ times in the past.

So you think saying "what part of ????" is answering the question ??????

THat is fine I do not expect anyone to defend the regulars on here . I have been in the Grand Prix scene for the past 4 years and decided to buy a Contour SVT because I liked the car . After the purchase I spoke to a fellow member (burritasvt)who is MORE than generous with his information TY !!! . So I decided to do a 3.0 swap. The whole reason for a forum is to get answers to questions most people do not know , or discuss other importantr issues regarding the 3.0 swap .

I PROMISE you if you go to clubgp.com and ask a question that has benn asked 4,000,000 times over someone will answer the question happily without the smartass remarks ! the fact that you want to deny that he was being legit in answering a question that I clearly thought was pretty serious , just goes to show exactly what iam talking about ! That this place SUCKS ASS !

You and your search nazis can suck a dick ! ~!!@!!!!!

IF any of you find this offensive , GOOOD ! Let me know , and I will be MORe than willing to talk to YOU in person .

This is what happens when someone gets embarrassed about being ignorant. Maybe he's not sure what a pilot bearing is.

You are an ignorant, thick-headed, [censored]. It's not my fault your brain can get it's way around a simple conicse answer. You asked a question and I answered it. So please STFU.

Do us a favor and go back to your POS GP.

That goes down in history as the nicesest Stazi has ever answered a question!!!!!!

And he still got flamed for it!!!!!!

Must be the accent!

well guys I am sure it was a decent question because I read it on NECO myself about changing the pilot bearing so I been helping the guy out with questions and that was one I mentioned to him that he might find out. I on the other hand would have asked the same question to because I wasn't sure since I never did the 3.0 conversion yet. Give the guy a break I never saw where he was rude; he is just relaying info for his mechanic and wants to make sure he has all his "i" dotted. Hey Robb sorry man after reading the post obviousily you don't need. Just compare your 2.5 crank to the 3.0 and make sure it alike where it makes up. Good luck on your project

i wouldnt go as far as saying this is the least helpful forum,although it does get a little out of hand after awhile..yes you will get flamed on almost every post,but somewere,someone,amongst all the flamming will answer your question, i got flammed three times in a row in one post over on mx6.com.....and i didnt even get a answer to my question
Posted By: Robb_dup1 Re: Pilot Bearing ? - 03/14/06 05:09 AM
First off I apologize for being a dick. tour96SeVT : you are right this isnt the least helpfull forum. Everything one needs to know is here somewhere...for the most part.

Joey (BurritaSVT): Thanks for the help, you have been the biggest help thus far. I know I have pestered you a few times . I have explained my fustration to you, hopefully this week it should be fired up. Now we know the answer to the pilot bearing question ..LOL

As for the others hopefully I didnt offend anyone with my "E-thugish" comments. I was just pretty pissed and under the influance of BEER! No-One likes an E-thug !

In all seriousness (sp) I feel like a child after reading everything again ... So my apologies to all who read this .

Thanks -Robb
