Some of the newer m/c have some kind of plating on the bore.  If that's
the case, there won't be any pits formed.  You just have to replace the
seals and you're ready to roll.

I haven't done an MR2, but I was very surprised when the clutch m/c
went out in my '77 PU that the bore was about as perfect as one
could get.  There was some kind of a greenish plating on it.
In my case one of the seals had folded over creating the leak.
So I just cleaned everything up, installed the new kit, and all's
well again.
