Those aren't valve guides, those are pushrod guide plates. At any rate, anytime you have a pushrod guide plate, it requires the use of a hardened pushrod to avoid what exactly happened to you. Any mechanic worth his weight in salt would have known that when he installed the heads. Chalk it up as an expensive lesson learned and have a reputable engine building shop do the repair work. If those were the stock pushrods, they probably weren't the correct length anyways.
