Anyone know where i can get a cheap set of rings to fit a 1G-GTE from? besides toyota  I cant find them anywhere! Im sure some people over in sydney or melbourne should know of some places.. cmon guys! this is all i need to start the re-build now.. Also, i have a friend who imports cars to WA, would he be able to get them for cheap? Is it because they come from Japan the reason why the rings are so much? Toyota want too much.

How much do Toyota want? Maybe you'd be better off purchasing one of the complete 1GGTE's that gabe has for sale in Perth and using your one for parts? Just a thought.

You can buy individual rings sets from ACL. Check what bore and ring thickness your compression and oil rings are and go to an engine reconditioner/auto parts store and get them to order them in for you.
Check with Toyota too....you might be pleasantly surprised at their price, and it'll be much less hassle.

Think about it this way, you'll always have a spare, and you've still paid SFA for the gear

So i dont need SPECIFIC 1G-GTE rings? i can just measure size and things, and ACL might have something that fits? Ive been to Marlows for them.. nothing.. Toyota want $350 for a set of rings.. thats rediculous.. i COULD use the old ones.. but id rather get some new ones. Im looking into buying a complete motor at the moment anyway, so we'll see.
Thanks for that number tanman, ill give him a buzz after work tommorrow.
