You will get many different opinions on this, so here goes mine
You can get a very good set of solid guides and modern style valves very reasonable
Chances are the existing seats are getting low so the choice is to either put in seats or get valves just a little larger. .050 to .065 dia This will allow for cutting existing seat and put the valve back up where it belongs
Now the question is what about the lash and lifters, this is where you need to be concerned
Does it currently have adjustable or original solid?
Both can be done, just have to be careful
