I wouldn't be concerned about damage to guides, but would be concerned about head warpage due to the overheating. For not too many $$$, a machine shop should be able to check the head surface for warpage.
I suppose having it checked is the right thing to do.

How much does it usually cost if they have to replace the guides, seals and smooth it out? In other words, go the whole 9 yards on the head, $250?
