Can this airpack can be saved?

[yolner]

I got a really good deal on a reman long airpack that was stored in some rough conditions. Most of the parts actually turned out to be in good shape but the air can Im not sure about. The spot where the piston sat developed some corrosion. I ran a fine hone through a few times but can still feel slight ridges in that spot. Is there a max od spec for the can? Trying to figure out if I can hone more or if its junk.

I would use it. Remember the seal is a large rawhide seal. It covers a large surface area, so any imperfections usually will not effect anything. I would use synthetic grease on the housing also. I have the Hydraulic fluid the military spec'ed out for this job, ( expensive stuff ! ) but really you don't need it with a good synthetic grease.

Awesome. I will leave it in my parts stash.
