I take exception to this. The parts is designed for the car. Beck/Arnley part # 013-8174 is the correct part for the piston. Google it if you like. I am just concern what is the purpose of the oil expander in the box. It probably is boxed there for a different car with a similar piston. The spec of the oil ring is 87mmx3mm and is correct. It is so beefy that the oil expander cannot be fitted.
