Its possible that the valve guides are worn, however I dont think its the cause of the leaky head gasket that you mention in your first posting. I dont know enough about valve guides, but I am guessing if you are running oil changes from 10-16k miles you might have some valve train damage. You mind as well have him check the timing chain, tensioner and guides while he is in there.
