If the guides are toast, changing the valves won't fix this. You "might" need a new head. Also, check the spring retainers. They may have been bent or cracked.

Thanks Dave! The head is in the shop right now for the new guides. value springs and retainer will be replaced too.

Called my installer today and he just heard from machine shop that all the valves are bended. I am pretty sure now it's from the over rev.
