Update: still have the sticking valve. Mechanically it does not make any sense as the guide has plenty of clearance for the valve, a different valve and spring were put in with thr same results, and the lifter works fine. I am unsure of where to go from here as I have run out of ideas and gotten sick of tearing the engine apart after 4 or so times!!
