Pull your valve covers and grab the keeper end of the valve stem via the spring retainer. With steady pressure using channel locks attempt to move the valve stem back and forth perpindicular to the valve. If you have severe valve guide wear you will see radial movement in the valve stem/retainer. If that's the case then it's time to pull the heads for a valve job or better yet, a set of new Eboks.. You can then take a look at the ring wear pattern on the cross-hatch in the cylinders. That also will give you an indication of how well the rings seated.
