For the stock aluminum bore, you can get some from Mahle, Mercedes (OEM SLR, made by Mahle), or Weistec. Either set will cost over $2000 USD. If your block is damaged and you are installing iron sleeves, then there re a number of manufacturers who can make a set for you.

Nah my E55 never ran with the blower on it. I had it mocked up with the built engine but switched plans and am going to build a CLS instead. I live in Orlando and never heard of C2...

Sorry Tiger, I don't have any links, call Mahle. I think they're a custom order but they're a lot closer to you than to me. Figure out if your bore is damaged first, then you'll be headed in the right direction in regards to what pistons you'll need.

Do a leak-down test right away .

I had the Darton steel sleeves blocks developed for our engines and also worked with Mahle to make the customer pistons for the my engine. We usually keep Mahle pistons in stock for stock size bore but depending on if you run a Steel bore, Nickasil bore or stock Alusil bore will denote the piston coating and rings needed. PM me if you need help.
