One other thing regarding aluminum cylinders, such as the slave cylinder,
is NEVER hone the cylinder during a rebuild.
Aluminum cylinders have, or should have, an anodized coating on the inside
to harden the surface and prevent accelerated wear.
If you hone those cylinders you remove the coating and you will find that
the cylinder bore wears very rapidly.
