Valve guide seals is not something I’ve ever done. Given my less than optimal shop space at this time, Not sure I can pull it off. Rather than ask you to walk me by the hand, I found this video of the job being done on a similar engine:

WAG my man Ky might need $1k for that job. But you make a good point. I previously welded in my own CATs with ugly welds. Can’t do that at this time, that job’s about a $700 bill these days. Would be nice to avoid premature death.
