Not the outer valve stem seal.

You mean that o-ring, right? I was thinikng the same, but thought the press fit of the guide itself shall seal it just the way how tightly is fitted in..?

If the fit was enough then why is there a seal/Oring ?

Changing a guide is not that straightforward, the bore has to be reamed and its not a standard size then the valve seat has to be remachined to suit
