What can be done to mitigate the valve guide wear during the life of the engine?
If regular and proper maintained doesn't prevent the problem, how are you rebuilding it differently to avoid the same problem in the future on this motor?

The valve guide material is going to be different then what came in the motor originally. The new valve guide material is manganese/bronze.
I got the first round of sheet metal back from the powder coaters today. I'm still waiting for the piece coming from Germany, also going to have the cylinder air deflector tin coated.
