Just because you had sludge in the engine doesn't mean by far your valve guides are worn or even close to it. 119 valve guides rarely wear until they have well over 300000 miles on them. 50% of your project was to recondition the valvetrain.
Not pound foolish...just wise and pennysmart. A valvejob at your mileage is just flat out foolish. I'll bet your machinest will find nothing wrong or nothing wrong enough to even mess with the valvetrain.
