I have successfully rebuilt my TH 400 and am happy with the results. Now back to the 041 cam I installed prior to the Trans. build that took 2 years of study and purchasing the parts. I am now taking the front end apart to get to the advanced Cam gear we installed without degreeing the engine Block. As we test and tune the vehicle, I am hearing noises that should not be in this motor. Thus, I am not running it until I inspect the push rods to see if I bent one or not by advancing the cam timing by 6 degrees at the crank or 3 degrees at the cam, pretty sure those are the numbers without reading through the entire post. The point is with the Trans. problems occurring soon after the cam installation I neglected to degree the motor. I have not done this procedure in my life; I will update the progress. I was told to do this by forum members and I thank those who insisted I do this first.
