I would buy new ones or look into head studs, new bolts are expensive their like 5 or 6 a bolt. and yeah the the valve guides are between the spring and valve seat, also replace the valve stem seals. this will keep the head in great shape for a long time. the valve guide have to be pressed in by the machine shop and they will put the new seals in too

Valve Guides are pretty deep inside the head. Cam caps, cams, and valve springs need to come out before the valves.....and then the guides. Best to do all that with the head off.....or....better yet.....have the machine shop do it. They are much faster and you may not feel comfortable doing brain surgery on your head. Have the shop do a valve job with new guides and prepare to not have a car for a few days. Or....jst have them mill the head and hope the vavle guides are still good.
