Gary, I tried Chrysler "umbrellas" in '94. My mechanic said that they fit
perfectly.
However, my problem was not solved. I had a scored cylinder wall which was
letting oil into the combustion chamber. For that reason I can't tell you
exactly how well the "umbrellas' worked. In my case I had to replace one
cylinder liner and one piston. Hope you are not in the same situation.
Cheers.
