Ah that makes perfect sense. When you explain it like that the exhaust valve does sound like the culprit. Could it also be the inlet as well?
I might just redo the entirety of the exhaust valve, stem and guide, just to be safe.
Is it an easy job to change the guides yourself?

You need a fair bit of tooling and the seats need to be re ground as the heat you need to put valve guides in sometimes distorts the seat a little.
