This tool from Goodson worked for me. Came quickly.

Valve Guide Install, Valve Guide Reamer

The whole thread would be worth reading. Short story - you CAN pound them in as described in the manual, but at least I found that, well, you can chip one of the valve guide bosses that way. Better to make yourself a screw press from some threaded rod, and various sized nuts and washers. The process requires much less violence that way. Pictures of how that is done are in the thread as well.
