[Healeys] Clutch question

[Alan Seigrist]

Rudy -

You can't hone the slave cylinder - it is aluminum with a specially treated
hardened interior surface.  If you hone it, it will only last for a few
months.

If the interior surface is worn, the only solution is either to get a new
slave cylinder or have your old one sleeved with a Stainless Steel insert.

Did you try bleeding the slave cylinder?

I find just getting a new slave cylinder and putting it on is the best and
easiest way to go.  And not too expensive.
