I did the head in the old motor too, and that included
driving out the old valve guides and replacing them(I
used a special 8 MM stepped drift and a claw hammer!).
They were very tight, so tight, I figure you could
crack a head pounding them out. Searching for a good
Schley lifter depressor (to replace that K-D piece of
crap I have) I came accross a special stepped drill
bit designed to drill out 8 MM VW valve guides. See:

Its from The Tool Source. At $24, its pricy, though.
