Not sure if you were trying to say something else, but he pulled the cylinder head already, and that's impossible without removing the camshafts first.

Valve guides do not "seal".

The valve seat ensures proper seal to the combustion chamber, not the guides or stem seals. Engines with bad valve stem seals or worn valve guides won't necessarily result in low compression readings, unless the seat surface is out of tolerance.

Valve Guides are the internal sleeve which guides the valves angle and motion, located under the Valve Stem Seal.

Valve Stem Seals keep oil from protruding down the valve stem, through the guide, and making its way into the combustion chamber when the valve is open.

That was directed to everybody using the term "Valve guide seal" in this thread, and not you in particular.

I am only familiar with honda's so I have no idea. Maybe other manufactures have a valve guide and stem seal that is all one piece, although I don't understand how that would work.

Ask your machine shop next time you talk to them?

Edit: After thinking about it for a bit, its possible that because it keeps oil above the valve guide, they call it the valve guide seal. The terms I use come from the helms though.
