Those pistons can probably be salvaged, but seeing how the rings are imbedded into the grooves like they are, you would be ahead to just trash the pistons. Stepped head pistons will give more compression, resulting in more power, but the flat tops will work just fine. I would suggest that you buy an engine kit that contains sleeves, pistons, rings,piston pins, and gaskets. Take the crank shaft to a machine shop and have it measured. Even though it looks good, it may be slightly worn, and will require undersized bearings to achieve the proper clearances. The machine shop can get the correct bearings for you. You might want to bring the engine block to the machine shop also, and have new cam bearings installed.
