Then you OUGHT to be good. As a test, lightly lube a new valve stem and stick it in the guide from the top, without the seal in place. Make sure it's all the way in the guide, and try gently wiggling it in all directions. If all the guides have the same amount of "wiggle" room (if any) then they should be good.

Also, use a bright light and look for scoring or evidence of abrasion in the guide itself.

Since the valves bent towards the bottom, you can also look for small chamfers worn in the guide from the bent stem, looking at it from the combustion chamber side.

If all of those tests come out OK, then they should be just fine.
