From what I can see, they don't look TOO bad, how many miles on 'em?

You're going to lose a bit of compression, I would guess, until she's broken in good...

Eww, that's getting up there...Do the grooves at the edges run the entire circumference (like mine did on 186K housings)?

Any bad chatter marks near the plug holes?
