This is not even close to the Engine that I started with, that I tested in, the first four years of my ownership. As I had then, I have to do today and just get past the auto curves thrown at me.

Deep inside the lower end is still the same Crank, Pistons, Rods etc..., strong and waiting to be unleashed like a Tiger in the Pontiac commercial. Unless the accident affected the Engine more than I think, that is why I have a question out to Cliff about the Trans. as we speak. I truly believe that there is nothing wrong with the bottom end of this motor. Unless I caused it, with the Transmission build, causing Thrust toward the Crank, by not having the exact tolerances at the front of the TH 400 that I should have, yet to see that answer, Cliff where are you? Mike out.

The question you have to ask is, Why would any engine change how it's acting and be different today than it was years ago, or even yesterday?
Fact is, there is no certain time frame when an engine starts doing what ever it does. Parts wear out and things can break at any point in time. Trying to apply logic won't fix it and can lead you down the wrong path. A car is a mechanical device, logic doesn't always work.
