FWIW, bronze guides frequently need to be reamed after installation, and at
least the exhaust guides are supposed to be reamed larger than the original
cast iron ones. Failing to do this may lead to stuck valves. I don't know
the clearances offhand, so I'd suggest another call to Ken G.
If I'm not mistaken, he also recommends not using seals with the bronze
guides on street motors, as the seals kill the lubrication to the guide and
shorten it's life.

Me too, so I could just as easily be wrong.
Good luck,
