  • 4mm oil ring? Stock Mahle Pistons?

    2002 Grand am, 3.4

    Doing a quick re-ring for a friend's ponch.

    Found Mahle pistons. According to sealed power the stock oil ring should be 4 mm. according to Mitchell it should be 2.96 mm. E-918K is 4mm oil ring and is too big. None of the auto zone, o'reilly's, parts pro, cpw catalogs list the E-928K that is the correct ring. Anyone else run into this?

    From what I hear the Mahle piston is a stock piston?

    Please clarify.

    PS: incase anyone else runs into this:

    Hastings 2C4903
    Sealed Power E-928K
    Mahle 41873CP
    there's the cross reference #s

    A "true" High flow converter, straight pipe.
    Low/No flow EGR valve, block off plate.
    Carbon canister and purge valve mod, place in large 30 Gallon can, cover, and place curbside, the city will do the rest.
    PCV valve and vent tube, reroute to exhaust to dump where it belongs, on the ground. Or add breathers and let it all free.

    Its really weird... I ran into this with Roberts 01 3400 engine... the stock ring size was 3mm but they sent me 4mm oil rings, the replacement pistons have 4mm rings cut in them.

    99 grand am 3.4 engine lists

    DNJ ENGINE COMPONENTS Part # PR3121
    SET; w/ 3.0mm Oil Ring; 1.2x1.5x3.0

    But I know there was one application that had a 3mm sealed power set. I'm trying to find it on RA.

        Never mind, DNJ is the only one I can find, and was the one someone told me to order, it was listed for a 06 equinox, but I found it on the 99 GA as well. They are much cheaper than Sealed Power and I'm not sure why really.
