I'd echo everything Roger said - the original bottom ends, given normal maintenance, should not need attention for at least a couple hundred thousand miles. A mildly abused engine will likely need attention soon. The commonly available rebuild parts are by all accounts not up to original OEM specs - that sucks, but probably should not be a problem for another 100k or more. You can look to 3rd party suppliers - Total Seal makes rings for the c900, for example, but I've heard they don't perform well in turbo applications.
