Ive been reading on the forums here that the 95' 4g63 pistons use a 3mm oil ring?
I have a 95' GST, I ordered a set of Hastings rings that were supposed to cover 95-99.
Theres too much history to cover with this car, but to make a long story short... The car has been burning a quart of oil every 300 miles since i got it 2 years ago. I blew a water hose and overheated it warping the head. I had the head rebuilt and put it back on the car with a mls head gasket (oops, 1st mistake)...
Even after the head rebuild the car still burned 1 quart per 300 miles. Plus the metal head gasket leaked air into the cooling system.
Ok so now I have the car apart again. This time im changing the rings since Im sure they are what caused the car to burn so much oil, but after reading about a 3mm oil control ring for 95' verses a 2.8mm for 96-99 im worried i got the wrong ring set
I ordered this set from DSM Graveyard. It says they are for ALL 95'-99' turbos...
