take the head to a machine shop and get new guides put in... as long as the head isnt cracked that is.

how many miles are on the heads? if high miles, sometimes cheaper to find another set.

???? what?

take the head to a machine shop, have it pressure tested then if it passes have them replace the guides. Done deal and total cost will be substantially less than a new set of heads.
