Default Piston Rings???

I need help. Cant find rings any where. Im told I need 2) 1mm comp rings and 1) 3mm oil ring? Any place exactly where I can get them for my 6.0? I could only find what SDParts listed as a "3.905+.005 bore" in a 1.5mm and 3mm set up.
Thanks guys

I lied. After checking you need 2, 1.5mm rings and the 1 3mm oil rings in a 4.00" bore for stock replacement rings.

Finding a single set of piston rings for one piston might be hard. I am not sure if the dealer sales them in singles but here is the number I came up with for a set of rings. Is the engine torn down to short block form yet???

#12499236 -6.0L LQ4/LQ9 Complete Piston Ring Set 99-05 Standard Bore Size 4.00

I Started a Part number thread for that kinda stuff Just in case... Hope it helps.
