The danged "clip" is part # 42098D, NLA from FIAT, but Messicks thinks they can supply 'em, check it out.

A GOOGLE search will turn up some other options, as well, for that part number.

As to guide drivers. HOPEFULLY, you have a buddy with a lathe.

If not, check out Goodson's.

A good automotive machine shop will be able to get everything needed for a full cylinder head rebuild, including the tools needed to do it. Probably for less money than you would spend on purchasing those tools.

clips go into the grooves to prevent valves from dropping but many time i have seen them out of the groove, must have jumped out i presume. the springs should be checked for tension and if weak replaced. i have put together heads without the clips also.
