What size engine?
SOURCE: 1992 - 1999 lesabre drivers front door
The LeSabre had the same body style up until 1999 in the rounded style. So it should fit just fine.

I don't usually copy and paste stuff, but this is an exception, It would be tough to explain the order. check it out.
Testimonial: "Thanks. My early 20's daughter was certain she had connected new spark plug wires correctly, but I hadn't checked her work. I had ASSUMED the cylinder # location you gave, but hadn't yet checked the wires. She had reversed the plug wires to cylinders 2 and 4."

the 2002 ford 2.0 piston to wall clearance is 0.0010 - 0.0022.Did'nt know they made a 1.6 in 2002.
SOURCE: Low overall compression in 1996 honda accord 4cyl 129.75 psi avg.
the compression pressures are on the low side. The indications are worn rings as the pressure readings come up when the ring seal is improved with the addition of oil. The bores will be worn in a taper and if the head was to come of there would be a noticeable lip where the top ring stops in the cylinder
rings and cylinders wear equally but rings suffer from a loss of tension, and an increased ring gap that allows more compression to escape to the sump
Do you need to do something about it--
if there is an oil consumption problem( smokey) then yes
If the economy is acceptable to you then --no --not immediately
What should you consider in making a decision----
1. good engines are available from japanese spares ( imported engines with less than 30.000klms on the engine for a fair price
2. consider what is termed a "short motor" which is the block,crank, pistons ,rings,oil pump and sump all new
What you should not consider is a quickie fix--set of rings and nothing else as this will cost you more in the long run.
