For worn valve guides, a good machinis will install bronze sleeves. My favorite machinist here in Kentucky won't even fool with oversized valve stems.

Also, I would not re-do a set of heads without having hardened exhaust valve seats installed. I once saw some seriously sunken exhaust valves in a Packard V8 within 40,000 miles, that was using OEM seats with modern gas.
