Glenn,
You don't say if you honed the bore before rebuilding. You may have some
pitting, but it can be hard to see sometimes, as the bore is pretty small.
If it leaks after installing a new kit, chances are that is the case.
Sleeving is the best LONG term solution and have personally been very
satisfied (done 6 or 7 MC's) with Sierra Specialties. However, a new clutch
MC, costs about the same or less than sleeving. So the answer lies in what
you want long term. I personally hate leaking brake fluid more than
anything.
