(Home) piston ring supplier

hi all.

where is the best place (price wise and quality) to get a whole new set of piston rings from.

sump is off, pistons out, pistons have been checked (by proffesional)along with bores and ok. rings are ok apart from the oil rings which were giving me blowby also crankshaft bearings need doing also. so might as well do the whole lot whilst i am there.

is it best to get it from toyota.

any help is appreciated.

thanks.

You might have to go to Toyota, as there have been occasions where internal parts like these are specific to Jap market models. You might be able to get rings for a 2CT from your local reconditioners, but it's a tossup whether they'll fit your pistons or not. If they're special order it could be an expensive experiment...

Thanks David.

I will get them from Toyota.

Save me messing about and like you say having an expensive experiment as I have experimented enough.
