This is a very typical failure on the 3.2 and the guides need to be replaced. The guides are soft and will most definitely wear, but each engine will wear at it's own rate. Your engine seems to be doing it early at about 60K miles, How much oil are you using per 1000 miles??
You mention that you had a valve job, but I'm guessing you mean a valve adjustment.
If you can do the work yourself, I think you are looking at $2500 to $3500. If not then add labor to that and you are probably;y at $5K or so. Lots of DIY threads on here for you to study and see if you are up to it.
Do NOT overfill the oil or it will smoke also!!
