Lose the capitals. Lose the red writing and large font size, and then <i>maybe</i>,JUST <i>maybe</i> someone will take your question seriously.

Edit: Also, lose the txt talk.

No you didn't, you lie, exaggerate and bullsh<s></s>it you way through life to try and feed your ego, which quite frankly is the size of a deflated cum catcher on the end of a midgets condom.

I'm assuming its a mountain bike bottom bracket shell.
Diameter of the shell is usually either 68mm or 73mm.
Lengths usually are 113mm or 118mm.

Get the ruler out and measure it.

Oh dear.
Measure from one side of the shell to the other side..
I rode my dad's Saracen Rufftrax to and from school. That had a Suntour square taper.
Oh, I rounded it off.

Well, just get the 118mm by 73mm bottom bracket.
And if you can, get something FSA and something ISIS.
They do good quality cheap-as-chips cranksets.
