I've just about completed the brake mc rebuild on the 65 4A and wonder about 
the advisability of honing the cylinder. I seem to recall hearing bad things 
about doing that and that it can make matters worse. It leaked only slighty 
(like being slightly pregnant, I know!) and the condition of the old seals 
explained the leak quite suffixiently. The cylinder looks fine to the naked 
eye but.....:-~. Do the possibilities of over-reaming it outweigh the 
benefits of honing?
