I will let you know today, if the machine shop can not it find locally. Thanks

BTW Those are Goetze german rings.

Bob, your price is the best.  My machine shop was able to find the rings locally, they are also "Goetze" but at $210.  I had no choice b/c the work is being done today.  It appears that everyone is out of stock on "Mahle" which are only 1/4 the price.   Why are Goetze so expensive?   Any insights?  I thought Mahle was OEM but looks like Goetze is also OEM.

Thanks again for the time and effort.

You'll find that  A. You can't actually get the Mahle  B. If you did, you'd find the price was for one piston.  Good luck with your project and let us know how it comes out.
