Valve guide seals wear out regardless of manufacture date, but the actual problem was with valve guides that were too hard, but that affected only the earliest 300E's. I don't know when the problem was fixed, but surely before 1992.
BTW, I see you're in Monrovia. You're very lucky. Monrovia has a fantastic downtown there off of Myrtle.
I'm not too far from you. I'm in Phillips Ranch, between Diamond Bar and Chino Hills.
