65 Riv Clam Shells start to open, but close straight away

True relay will go to default position which is closed but motor will not be energized if micro/ limit switch for closed position is open. -

That is certainly a possibility but I doubt that is what is happening. A relay has 2 separate circuits within it. One is the control and the other is the controlled. The control circuit is the one that comes off the light switch. The controlled circuit is the one that activates the headlight motor which has its own set of contacts that are separate from the relay coil terminals. Because of this the relay coil does not see the load that it is controlling so the load has no affect on it.The coil moves the headlight motor activating contacts to open or close via magnetism. No mechanical or elect -

I would check the micro switches at the top of the motor where the arms connect. May be loose or not properly adjusted -
I suggest you remove the timing chain cover. That fuel pump being stuck in itself would be reason enough but the fact that one of the mounting holes is stripped is even more reason to do so. You will be able to do a better job of fixing that stripped hole with the cover removed.You don’t want to cause further damage by trying to force that pump off. Something isn’t right and the only way to get to the bottom of it is to put the work in and remove that cover.You can also check the timing chain and gears while you’re at it.

I just went through the same problem on mine . Turned out to be the solenoid inside the tranny was burned out. Had it changed at a tranny shop. All is good now.

I think i have the H2 option. Cant say for sure but my steering box on my 65gs is 2 3/4 lock to lock. -
I’m thinking I’m thinking if you have to do all that then maybe they are on right they way they were originally

Have you done the modification TOM T. Mentions ? Reversing the auxiliary air blades so cutout/holes face the Venturi supports?

425 Motor rebuild - Cost and recommendations
arnulfo de l.a. replied to Scotsbass's topic in Buick Riviera
I know where I would send my motor if I wanted a rebuild ! you get what you pay for. Tom because you are using forged pistons do you set them up looser than factory spec? Do you get any piston slap on cold start?
