Not really. I think the irregular surface of the corrosion would damage the
seals in no time at all and take away the pumping effect of the MC.
Sounds to me like there's either air in the lines (it doesn't need much air
to feel awful and Spit brake systems are notoriously difficult to bleed) or
the hoses swell up.
