10-4171 Performance Piston Ring Set, L28 Engine Standard Size $68.45

I'm sure there are others, but this is a start.

While you are busy assembling, you might want to order some of these:

I assume you already know about the engine oil bypass kit...

don't reply if you have nothing to say 240

Brendan--

Check out this link:

and that's just for starters...there are lots of others that popped up when I searched the forums(see next paragraph)....and check out what Zbane said above--you normally can't go wrong with purchasing stock stuff from either Nissan if the parts are available, or from MSA (Motorsport Auto) which is the www.thezstore. that is the link....I buy 75% of all my replacement parts from MSA--just bought a replacement clutch slave cause mine was leaking. They are great for that kind of part....also be sure to ask for a catalog (they are out right now they said, they'll send you a cd-rom version instead [which I actually wish i had sooner i didn't know they had them]).

In the future, use the 'search forums' link at the top--i found this link by searching for 'good piston rings'.

Most of the time, it's best to search for an answer to a question before posting. Some of the people that reply with great information have already answered questions and they might not want to answer it again.

Just my .02 dollars. Take care, and good luck with your rebuild.
