But didnt 2001 have the whole piston ring trouble with oil consumption?? I thought I read that the 2001 model cars had different rings that they had to change in 2002 b/c they werent as good as previous rings.

I don't know about the ring issue, but they are different heads, intake, cam, and different exhaust manifolds and cat placement. The head change actually happened mid 2000, some had 241s and some still had 853s
