Maybe MB changed the servo assembly. I'll check with them tomorrow morning.

No such luck. MB doesn't have an oversize ring. It's not a pressed in sleeve. MB has not altered the servo assembly.

I'm going to try a hone to remove the ridge, and hope that the leaky B2 piston ring gap isn't going to leak so much as to prevent it's operation. It's a long shot, but at this point what else can I do?

I'd really like to replace the ring with one that was oversize, and teflon, but I don't have a clue where to start looking for one.

Anyone know of a shop that makes one off rings to customer specifications (and doesn't cost an arm and a leg)?
