Question

copper valve guides

building heads noticed one valve guide has no clearance with valve, so when valve opens and closes it does some tight, im afraid when it gets hotter it may get that tight that valve does not work as it should, should i drill it out? or it will work just fine?

DO NOT DRILL IT OUT!

Take it to a cylinder head machine shop so they can measure the clearance and hone it out with the proper equipment.

just take it to a machine shop (particularly one that works with heads) and have them inspect and measure for clearance.
