An engine was burning oil like crazy before, and we couldn't find out what's the problem until the machine shop see the valve guides. Can someone tell me is there anything wrong with this valve guides? Sorry, that the best pic I got.

Copper insert?
What is the purpose of the insert?
Can someone with more knowledge please explain why a valve guide has a copper insert? Did stock valve guides have it too?

That pic shows nothing that would be any indication of something wrong.
I could say something like its out of round but that would be a guess.
