Unless you've done this before I wouldn't recommend file fitting your own rings. Get a shop to do it. Otherwise I would recommend ordering a spare set of rings now before you wreck them. It's way too easy to file too much or file them crooked.

With that being said, Mopac sells them.

PS: And no, a piston ring filer is not the same as a cylinder hone.

He's looking to set the ring gap. Snap-on probably has them. You may be able to get one from Mopac as well or Unlimited Performance.

ive seen them in the northern tool catalogue for like 60....not sure about locally. i would try the parts places like mopac and performance parts by speedtech but they will surely have them marked up. might want to try greggs distributors or something too...

online is cheapest for sure though.
