Same with the guides, ask which side of spec they're on... they're going to be on the low side of spec, hands down. $24 for ALL new guides (12) in parts is cheap as hell, it makes no sense to reuse any when the head is off... even if they're "okay" They still have wear.
Just spend the extra $100 at the most for the parts and wait for the updated gasket.
It's your car, do as you wish.

Where are you finding guides for $2? I am seeing the cheapest ones at $5.50 apiece online....still only $66 or so.....but not $24....then add springs.......
