Turbo Riviera! Thanks for the information! Mine are ok except for the caps and O-rings, so the Auto Zone Kit will work. You just helped me get my engine running! I would have replied to your post earlirr, but I wasn't getting notified of new posts. Ain't technology grand? Thanks again...

Hi! My T Type Riv is white with a maroon cloth interior and is nicely optioned. I have a line on some injectors, but if that one fizzles out, I'll let you know. I have noticed that quite a few of the GM Turbo engines used the same injectors! Thanks, Tim

:confused: Looking for some answers/opinions. I pulled my engine and found #1 piston with the ring land collapsed/burned and cylinder wall scored. #2 piston ring land was cracked in one place, no cylinder scoring. All other pistons show some wear on the thrust surface. Engine already has...

Sounds good! Let me know how it runs and sounds, and compression readings would be good, too. When you pull the engine, be aware that the turbo plumbing and exhaust pipes can be a real bear on that engine! You would think that with all the room available underhood on that vintage Riv, they...

84-85 Riviera T Type Hi, These Rivs are VERY rare. Buick built about 1100 in 84 and 1069 in 85, making them one of the rarest of all Rivieras. I would be all for fixing it up and putting it back on the road, but to each their own. I just got one a few weeks ago that could use an engine, so...
