No. For the cylinder itself, that would be true (If it can't be honed or
sleeved. But the piston doesn't really contact the cylinder but serves as
an housing for attaching the cups that do contact the cylinder walls. So as
long as the piston does not bind up and still seals the cup and/or
O-rings, it will still work regardless of pitting.
