Default the last of my engine parts have arrived

Tonight I collected a parcel from the general store/Post Office, the last item that I require (until next time I need something) to assemble my engine.
12 split valve guides.
I found that replacing them (4 that I bought previously) removed 60%-80% of the wear between guide and valve stem, so decided to replace them all.
Will check them all out over the weekend to ensure that they fit into the block and around the valve. Must make sure that they do not grab/bind on the stem.
Once that is done I will drop the block back with the engine reconditioners to replace those rusted/pitted valve seats, then can commence reassembly.
