Fuzzy pics, but they don't look that bad. I soaked mine in Carb cleaner for a little while, and rinsed them off with brake clean/compressed air. The carbon on top was a little more stubborn. I used a soft roloc pad on a die-grinder for that. You'll want to prep the cylinders with the sunnen an-30 paste to insure good ring seating.

Piston survey is in the workshop manual and spec book. I'll see if I can find mine.
Sorry about the iPhone pics, but they look quite good. There are a few scratches down to aluminum on the skirts only but I think a swain coating will sort them out. Tops are fine, just some discoloration so I might swain coat the tops too. Just getting them measured up to see if they are in spec.

BTW no one noticed, these are the 10.6cr Euro pistons
