Re: valve guides

They keep oil from going into the combustion chamber, as well as absorb some of the heat from the combustion chamber so the valve does not runn too hot.

If they are really worn then small amounts of unmetered air can enter the cylinder causing the idle to be rough and give a slightly lean condition.
