<VV> Valve Guides

I'm cleaning up a set of 140 heads I recently bought and the guides are shot
(not a suprise).  There is an incredible amount of carbon deposit on the
inside of the intake ports (over 1/4" in some places) and the valve heads move
radially about .010.  Oddly, the valves are not worn - maybe there was a
recent valve job.

In any case, am I better off to have the guides replaced or to have them
sleeved?
