I might have gone from 10w-30 to 0w-40, need to check the records..
If I do the valve seals with the head on, should I be able to get a feel for whether the guides are worn, perhaps by wiggling the valve stem side to side? I did the head on my other car, a 92 C900 2.1L last fall (leaky gasket) and from what I understand, it's essentially the same head. It had 200k on it and the guides were in great condition. This 97 has been taken care of much better (bought the C900 used). I'd be a bit surprised if the guides were worn.
