all you need is 8v or 16v head.
92-98 should work.
id bet the head , .050" main oil feed orifice, is plugged,, starving said bearings.
its a screw in orifice.

the engine has a serial number, but has year code and not 8v/16v codes, in the usa.
and worse yet is the Vin shows code 0 for both the 8v and 16v engines. biggest suzuki blunder of them all, that gets you the wrong parts everytime.
GM (Geo) got this right, with vin code, 6 and U, for engine vin codes. on dash.
you head sounds to me like a bad core too... will be rejected. i bet.
my head came with wrong intake studs in 2 places, too short. (there may be a 1998 diff, there) suzuki changed manifolds radically in 1998;
was easy fix.
this wont help , T = 1996 (bottom left of engine at bell flange. engine is up, tranny case bell, is down in photo.
