A shop that rebuilt a serve MC for me--I believe they used a stainless sleeve--left a very fine hone pattern on the sleeve bore. Their argument/logic was basically the same as for leaving a hone on engine cylinders: with a perfectly smooth cylinder wall the seal scrapes all fluid off the wall, leaving none for lubrication; whereas a fine-honed surface allows a bit of fluid to lubricate the edge of the seal.
Makes sense to me, but some things that make sense to me may not not be correct.

Michael,
Kees is correct that it must be perfectly smooth and a cylinder that old
probably isn't.
