Hard to tell - can't see inside the sleeve and look for scratches.

If you're looking for fit to see if its worn out - if you can easily push top of the piston above the top of the sleeve, its worn out and needs replacement (or a pinch).

also, just becuase it looks blackened from heat and carbon build up, doesnt mean the pinch isnt still good

push the piston in the sleeve as far as it will go. If the piston goes over the top the pinch is no good.
