In Canada, Lucerne is the name of a huge dairy producer. I never understood the people who bought a car with the same name as milk at the grocery store.
This is to the creator of this channel You need to realize that all northstar engines will fail a blocktest, including mine which had timeserts in 2000-2004, unfortunately the headbolts are the weak point on these engines and the way to fix this issue completely is get in contact with a company called northstar performance, order a MLS HG, the stud and tap and die kit, and then pull the engine out of the car as you will not have enough access to the back headbolts
Disgusting how these northstars were just garbage after the head gasket needed replaced.Engineeers really fkkkd this one up good.Great engine,just put it in sideways,it will be fine???????????????
I worked in a Buick dealership from 93 to 95. I was at the General Motors Training Center in Detroit for the unveiling of the new 96 Riviera which was equipped with the Northstar. It was rumored to be the future of GM engineering. It failed. Maybe it was a hint of the disasters that lay ahead.
Damn! Juan screwed you. That's not head gasket. You could've turned that car easy. I'd hire a different Juan. That one losses you money. Water pump and thermostat is a cheap, easy fix.
I bought a 2017 Chevy traverse off a lady for $500 with 79k only….she said she was told by Chevy it was done needed to be scrapped….no power steering, no crank keys stuck in ignition, windows don’t work…..it needed a battery….power steering fluid and a set of $30 switches from Amazon….total cost $300 so I have a 2017 traverse with 80k that I payed $800 for lol was on its way to the junkyard…..dealerships are gross

Those are rare
I'd buy it. He sure the water pump belt isn't broken?
Man I thought I was clever in thinking it was gonna be a Bonneville GXP and totally forgot some Lucernes came with a north star also
Northstar is a warning label

The ultra reliable Northstar engine!! American engineering at it best!
Bad water pump.
That’s the better version of the Northstar
My family has one of these, highly surprised it hasn’t blown up yet

I think my 99 aurora has the northstar engine. I cant remember. I miss that car though
I thought it was Cadillac only WTF
I saw the badge and said probably a headgasket.
Had a 2003 olds Aurora with the "shortstar" 4.0 V8. Good car. Bad engine of course.
