Sean, the 65 and 70 MOTOR's Flat RAte manuals don't show times for the 65 400 engine, I guess since it was a mid-year introduction.

The times given for the 66 400 are shown and are higher than the 300/340 times. Official times from the 66 Buick Flat Rate Manual are shown in ().

Camshaft Remove & Replace (4.9) 6.8
add for a/c (0.5) 0.5
add for pwr steering (0.2) 0.2

includes R&R driving & driven pullies, harmonic balancer, crankshaft oil seal, fuel pump, water manifold, timing chain & gears

Valve grind (8.0) 10.8
add for a/c (0.8) 0.8
add for pwr steering (0.3) 0.3
valve guide R&R - each (0.1) 0.3

includes R&R intake manifold, rocker arm covers & gaskets, rocker arm assys., water manifold, cyl head assys.

The actual pages can be scanned and sent if you need more backup data.
