As the other guys discussed, if they are grooves (which wouldn't gouge any new bearings) and not raised 'lines' (which would gouge bearings), then I'd be installing new bearings and seeing how it goes.
Unless a rebuild is not a major issue for you.

Can you see what caused those gouges on the old shells?
Have you got full photos of the shells for that journal?
