a pitted ram on a one way cylinder is of little consequence. if the main seal/packing is in good shape there will bne little "blowby" that the wiper would have to clean off the ram. the wiper seal might get damaged over time, but this area is not pressurized. Not sure If I would waster the $45 on a kit for a 2 way cylinder with a pitted ram. You can buy new cylinders for about $100 depending on stroke, they have them at TSC.

If you're main concern is gunk, just pour some fluid in the hole and work the ram back and forth a bit with the hole at the top, then turn it upside down and let the gunk come out, do that a few times or until the gunk stops coming out. I wouldnt tear it apart for the $45. Now u can probly get new orings for the ends for under $5 or there abouts, then just pull the 2 ends off and clean it without removing the ram from the cylinder bore.
