Just go to your local friendly machine shop and tell them what you need :)

Mine came to £90 for a full set of Goetze ones.

agreed with turbo-brown, local machine shop/engine builder will be able to get you what you need for decent money and recomend a brand to suit your needs, where i used to work geotez or AE were the main 2....

What he said ^

I also got Goetze rings for my 2.7 for about £80

Look in your yellow pages for engine reconditioning.
