Which engine?
#2
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.

here is the suz p/n on all heads, made at Cami Canada plant
16v
11110-57b00 early
11110-57b02 , from vin code R6400001~ that is year, R= 1994 so from here to 1998 all heads , IDENTICAL, 16v. IN japan actual this change happened in 1992.

i see the changes, new designed head bolts, and new distributor mount casing, changes.and new intake manifold.
finding 16v head bolts is a huge problem.. but suz, still sells them. and if found aftermarket, dont fit both heads.


finding a core head gets harder every day on these old cars.
but here is one.

my head builder, showed me secret head codes, on the left top rim of head, this tells the head builder, if head is a B00 head or B02.
