Just sick of reading threads with incorrect wordage used. If you are here looking for a solution to your motor problem, you are in the wrong place, FE I have ever see is a Motor.

Internal combustion engines are called just that, Engines, motors are of the electrical type.

Just tired of veterans not commenting on the downgrading of our precious smog slingin, loud roaring, torque monster FE ENGINES.

I love my engine, and would never put a motor in any vehicle I own.

 

I too, made notice of this seemingly incorrect usage, and made a point of it--TO MY THIRD GRADE TEACHER.

Happy Motoring!*





*two bits says no one knows where you'd have found that message.....

 

Welcome aboard Ken! For the most part we are a pretty easy-going bunch in here. Nobody asks me to spell anything when I buy tools, they don't even ask who's picture is on the bills I hand over. If I have trouble counting, they are glad to help me out. I guess I'm just simple that way.

I am curious about one thing you said:
How do you start the truck if the starter motor goes out? You must be a pretty hardy fella to push start the beast.

I'm not so hardy. I'm currently working on putting a set of motors in my new/old Ranger pick-up. If I find another set of power seats with the motor driven air pumps, I'll cob them into my '74 also. They are niiiiiiiice and commmmmfy!



Just yanking your chain Bud...Motor, motor, motor!!!! LMAO

 

Well the only place I can think of is doesnt the guy on my classic car say happy motoring?

 

I just had to reply, had a flight instructor one time go all to pieces when I called the engine a motor, it led to a long string about electrical motor, combustion engine, the airplane, oh excuse me the AIRCRAFT ENGINE in the airplane was produced by Continental Motors..Pap

 

Hhhm, never seen that (Classic Car, no cable here you see...), I might owe you two bits, but that's not what I was thinking.

Hint: Signs with the words "motor fuel" in them could be found nearby. (this gives it away methinks...)

 

Uhh, why didn't I think of this?

Amercian MOTORS
Chrysler Corporation, the new name for the reorganized Maxwell MOTOR Co.
Ford MOTOR Company
General MOTORS
American Honda MOTOR Company
(continue on around the globe....)

 

Hey that was quick, it's funny how things stick with us...Pap,

 

What are we going to do without Motorsports? Enginesports doesn't have the same ring to it.

A motor vehicle is a machine which incorporates a motor (sometimes known as an engine), and which is used for transportation. The internal combustion engine is the most common motor choice, although electric motors or other types are sometimes used. Land vehicles are usually equipped with wheels, and usually operate on roads.

Some common examples:

an automobile
a truck
a bus
a motorboat
a motorcycle
a motorized bicycle
In most jurisdictions, use of different classes of vehicle is governed by a traffic or highway code which determines amongst other things:

who can drive (typically adults who hold a valid driving license for the class of vehicle)
in what circumstances one can drive (e.g., in possession of insurance, not drunk, etc.)
where a vehicle can and cannot be driven
speed limits
right-of-way
requirement to use specified equipment (motorcycle helmet, safety belt, etc.)
requirements forokto meet standards of safety, to display a license plate, etc.
In the United States, a motor vehicle is "a vehicle, not run on rails, that is designed to be self propelled or propelled by electric power obtained from overhead trolley wires, but does not include a motor assisted cycle."[citation needed]

I make the same distinction, calling electric motors motors, and internal combustion engines engines.

There are the exceptions like motorsports and all, but it just doens't sit rigt with me when someone talks about the motor the powers their vehicle.

You may be technically, grammatically correct - but it's about 100 years too late to getall wound up about it.

We have the Motors manual for specs. I live in the Motor City. As noted earlier - Ford Motor Company built them. I read about them in Motor Trend.

 

Well I have called them every name in the book besides a Motor or an engine..My Electronic's Teacher use to get pissed at me In High school...As I would leave his class and go over to the Auto shop to work on my Motor in my Olds 442...

And he would say thats an engine NOT a Motor....A Motor is run off off AC/DC current...and engine runs off of Petrol !!! LMAO!!

Who Gives rat azz....as long as were all on the same page...I'am to damn old to change my ways know !!

And the saying MotorCar Started years ago over in England ! Cheers!!

 

Call my clutch guy and ask for some "fingers"! Ohhhhhh the tragedy. They are LEVERS!!!!! You know...the three "levers" that the throwout bearing pushes on in a Long style clutch.

As long as everyone knows what you are talking about..........does it REALLY matter? The English language was WAYYYY too many glitches in it to make a fuss over.

 

Well hey the front door here has it correct and thats good enough for me. Performance, Engines and Troubleshooting, so there you go... if you miss that on the way in thats probably why you call a engine a motor.. not paying attention in class LMAO!!! GUILTY AS SIN AND DONT GIVE A ****!!
