most guides have a few thousands of play unless the heads are new or near new or have had the guides replaced. Find someone to help u go threw a entire engine.

i know there should be some play but there is ALOT in a couple of these guides,
im takin the heads to the machine shop tommarrow to get new giudes installed and another valve job done

You said this engine had 1200 miles on it...and you say ANOTHER valve job,so I assume you had the valves ground when you built the engine...How did they not know the guides were bad ?Hard to imagine any competant machine shop doing a valve job on a set of heads with worn out guides.

If you got oil puddled up on top of the pistons, you've got other things to worry about than a wiggle in the valve guides.
