most guides have a few thousands of play unless the heads are new or near new or have had the guides replaced. Find someone to help u go threw a entire engine.

You said this engine had 1200 miles on it...and you say ANOTHER valve job,so I assume you had the valves ground when you built the engine...How did they not know the guides were bad ?Hard to imagine any competant machine shop doing a valve job on a set of heads with worn out guides.

If you got oil puddled up on top of the pistons, you've got other things to worry about than a wiggle in the valve guides.
