Just a few reasons that excessive guide clearance happens------wrong valves, wrong guides, incorrect rocker/pushrod geometry---- mix up of standard and metric specs---example would be use of metric valve stem and standard size guides-or wrong size reamer or hone for finishing the guide---wrong valve length to accominate springs/retainers causing issue with rocker geometry/pushrod lengths---

show us some of the seals and also port area near wear push rod is-------

angle of engine mount can cause poor drain back of oil in some cases ----

high volume oil pumps and lack of control of oil supply to rocker shafts can cause high oil level in valve covers-----


Also in that video it looks like those guides are too short-barely above head mass------



I'll see if I have time to photo graph some of the equipment needed to measure valve guide clearances--- also the diamond guide reamers for the guides--------
