but the valve guides are warn, so i may need to put in new guides or get oversized valves

These engines don't have replaceable valve guides. Either ream the head for valves with OS stems, or do as most rebuilders do and machine for replaceable guides (usually bronze?) sized for standard valves. Of course make this choice and do that work before grinding the valve seats.
