the real confusion is the makers of the thermostat do not spec, the completed assembly size.
that will be ever so slightly larger with rubber ring attached at 57mm or 56.5+ tiny bit more
the actual stat is claimed by many to be 2.04" before ring insertion.
so you need to have matching STAT and ring,
the 92 parts will not fit nor match up
nor will the silly paper gaskets schemes.
Suzuki nor GM sell the ring, they make you buy the whole kit,
AFTERMARKET sellers, sell the ring and get all confused by, 92 year, 96 up and 1.8L and worst yet, add in the water pump large o-rings, in the thermostat pages, how silly is that>

note my photo above showing me being cagey there , tilting it up so you can see HOW THIS FITS. no 89 to 92 sidekick uses this part.
