absolutely YES
what you really want Apple to do is sleeve the cylinder  with brass - send 
them the bare cylinder, then rebuild with  your original internal parts (if 
they're good - they usually are) and a new seal  set. Replacement cylinders 
currently available are generally Chinese  reproductions (even the ones in 
TRW boxes) and are notorious for poor quality  and early failure. I've never 
had any problem with resleeved cylinders -  the brass will not corrode and 
pit like the original steel bore.
