Hi JonE
By valve stems I take it you mean valve guides. If so, replacements are available and not too hard to fit and then lightly reamed if necessary. You seem to have the opposite problem to Oxford Jack on another curent thread, who is suffering from guides that are too tight !
If possible, it's a good idea to weigh pistons and rods etc. They can be swapped around for best balance, e.g. Cylinder 1 and 2 as a pair, and Cylinder 3 and 4 as another pair.
