If it were me yes pull the cylinders you  have gone this far shame not to finish the job.
Clean ring grooves,fit new rings blow out all the oilways new gaskets and that way you know its all good again.Carbon build up looks fairly normal from what I can see but your pics are so big  for the snail net over here.
Cheers

Oh how I wish for the endless wallet....

I may be down your way next week (Slough) so may pop in to see if it is finished ;)
Feel free to pop in and have a look, but all I can guarantee is a cold beer or hot coffee.

That groove is nothing to worry about. Just a bit of the epoxy that bonds the copper wire on is missing.

MrT the one thing that was dodgy on my old 400f top end when I rebuilt it was the rocker faces.

Can't see them because they are under your camshaft but dirty oil seems to make these go through first so may be a good indication of youth/care.

Can not believe the guy was complaining that the 750 had dripped oil on his front room carpet  ;D ;D ;D
