Hard to tell from the photo. If there's any question, you could always get the cylinders sleeved. Just takes $$.��

A good rule of thumb to determine the remaining thickness of the block in general is to examine the lower ends of the head studs that you extracted. Since they protrude into the water jacket, they tend to corrode off flush with the inner surface. This gives you a way to measure the remaining deck thickness. If there are less than three threads left, the block is done.
