Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Source for 616 piston rings?

 
Hey Guys,

Looking for a set of reasonably-priced piston rings for my new-to-me '82 240D.  Would anyone know of a source?

Also, what's the group's thoughts on replacing cylinder liners?

The previous owner wasn't vigilant with regard to oil leaks and allowed the engine to seize.  I pulled 2 good core engines from my local pick-n-pull.  I was going to do main & rod bearings and piston rings in the better of the two (as determined by compression tests) and drop it in and, depending on how that runs, save some more $$$ and build a nice engine for it.

My 240 is a really nice car in almost mint condition, except for the engine.  It's a 4 speed car. 

Thanks!

Regards,
Ben Pender
