Ken, I agree with all the other guys. I did the complete valve job a couple years ago, all new valves, guides, keepers, and those little rubber o-rings that go on the intake valves. I got my stuff from this web site. You will be well served with the valve rebuild kit, plus the valve grind gasket set.. that should have everything you need and a few $$ cheaper than buying individual parts. I pulled the old valves off and baggied everything by cylinder (just in case), cleaned-up the head pretty good, (which turned out to be a waste of my time), then took the head and guides to a machine shop to press in the guides and shape-up my valve seats. The shop super cleaned and painted the head (looked like brand new), checked for warps and cracks, pressed the new guides,shaped-up the seats, and gave me back a A-1 Z-120 head. The price tag was $70. I was giddy for a couple days after that ! I installed the new valves, etc. myself, piece of cake, no special tools needed... although compressing the valve springs to get the keepers on was rather "exciting" until I borrowed a valve spring compressor tool from the local Auto Parts Store.
I probably didn't need it, but I lapped my valves anyway when I installed them.
