Not really. Kind of depends on how you define both "all" and "Euro."
The twin dizzie was made from 84-86, and from 85 on, the 5.0 was available in some ROW markets.

I was was more or less cavalier about TB maintenance record because it was a 16v. But I read
here that MY85 euro 16v are interference engines?

You should assume it is.
Are you in a situation where you don't have access to space / tools to perform a TB/WB job?
