I know someone who did a few rebuilds on these and a common problem is valve guides leaking oil.
Not a massive job but you need a decent tool to press out the old ones and get the new ones in.

No, the paste is for grinding the valve and valve seat, the guide is the seal that seals the stem of the valve
