Brian:
If the inside is anything but smooth, the rebuild will fail, and it
sounds like it did.
MGB slaves tend to pit pretty badly and so it's not unusual for them not
to take a kit. Usually it's best just to replace.
Save the rebuilding components. The next time you need to do a clutch
or other major work you can pop the new seals into the replacement
cylinder and renew it again.
