"cylinder 1 has crosshatch marks (the rest look like factory)"

I don't know if you picked up on what Peter said about this.... due to the fact that this is a situation OPPOSITE to regular cars... what you said would be how ANY other cars all my life would be judged.... however, MB expects the hatch marks to remain....and uses the lack of hatch marks as indicating that the cylinder needs help....

I know you are using the shop manual ... and should continue since plenty of correct info about measureing the rest of the piston is there ( the ring lands particularly ) ....

Sleeves are cheap compared to pistons.... if your pistons are good then pulling the sleeves and boring to fit ( each ) piston would be the proper way to get you back to STOCK out of the factory settings....Notice in the Manual that a simple homemade tool is shown for pulling the sleeves....and that a hammer is used to install the new ones....
