What's the name of that tool? Where did you get it? How easy is it to use and how does one figure out how far to seat the guide?

Sorry for the confusion, that is for the valve stem seals. As far as I know, the head must be removed for the guides. I removed my head and sent it off to the shop for him to clean, skim and rebuild. You can do it yourself, but for what its worth as it has to be sent off to be skimmed anyway, might as well just let the pro do it.
You should not have any consumption problems for the time being, but in the near future, you may start losing a quart every few thousand, by which time you gotta realize the guides are bad, not the stems....and all that burned oil is reducing the life of your cats.
