The trick to removing cast iron guides without damaging the head is to drill the guide out until it's only got a wall thickness of 1/16" or a bit more. That relieves most of the press fit and the guide moves a lot easier. Most machine shops stopped using bronze liners sometime ago- - - -too much labor time involved in reaming the guide, fitting the liner, and reaming again for valve stem clearance. Maybe on a race engine - - - -not for general street use!
