    I have a few questions about installing my TH400 to my engine.

    1 The bolts to the flex plate/crankshaft......do they have lock washers? If so, are they the star type? Torque?

    2 The bolts to the torque converter/flex plate.....what size? Torque?

    3 When installing the flex plate to the engine, the flex plate has an offset and the ring gear has a lip on it. What way does the flex plate install?

    4 Can I get by with adding 5 or 6 quarts of transmission fluid before cranking my engine to break in my cam? Then top it off after the cam is broke in?
