Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
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
