Hello Ken
   Down in these parts.  Machine shop do  not install new guide 
unless there are really bad.  What they do is drill out the guide 
oversize in press in a bronze insert.  This insert is then fitted to 
valve stem.  You now have a bronze guide.  If they wear out over the 
years.  They just push out the insert and press and fit a new one.
