Default valve guide re- bush and tooling

Can any one help guide me as to what tooling I need to add bronze bushings to 239/255 valve guides, what seals ,bushings are suitable and what brands/part numbers etc., till now I have been knurling my used guides ,I would exchange them but I have a few buckets full of used guides I think it would be more cost effective to add bronze bushings myself as I have lathes and time to do it in house, I have used silver seal and Regis for most of my tools, any other preferred tool suppliers out there for such supplies ?

Do you have any bronze guide tooling now??

If not it is a fair investment in tools to get the minimum tooling for 11/32" valves. Boring tool for bronze. Reamers or carbide balls for correct sizing,installation tooling,removal tool,trim to length tooling after installation.Flex hone Home made tooling to hold guide while installing liners
. Regis Silver Seal Goodsen all have the tooling. I have some new never used 11/32" stuff that is surplus to me. What is your location?
