This seems like the exact kind of information I need to do this job well.
I am glad you posted this.

What you are saying is the new valve guides are made with a slightly smaller inside diameter than the outside diameter of the valve stems that go into them ?
And that the guides need to be reamed out to fit the stems ?
And that the reaming needs to be done in a way that aligns the valve with the valve seat ?
Correct.
