If plastic valve guides were cheap and easy to obtain I would buy them in boxes of 100 and replace them two or three times a year, but they are not cheap and they are difficult to obtain. I found that it's not too hard to obtain 3-mm stainless steel bolts and file the heads to 1 mm thickness and 3 mm width. They do make a bit more noise than the plastic valve guides but they last much longer. (I have been using one set for several years now, with no perceptable wear.)
