Default Valve guides???

So, I have a set of 317 heads and the valve guides appear to be steel(powdered metal) and not bronze. Is this normal. I thought ls1 heads had bronze valve guides, I know the last set of 241s that I had were bronze... Is ok to run steel valve guides on a high hp motor??

The valve guides in my 243 castings don't look like they're bronze.
