You can see where it's pulled out on the bottom...

I would really recommend replacing that head or getting new guides installed...

yeah i told you that but you still wanted pictues. About 1/8" I checked the head for flatness and it was good. The head is not warped. Also, i poured water in the port and nothing came out. The valve is sealing properly.

Yes I know you said that but it helps to see how much and where to try and figure out why. Valve sealing has nothing to do with it, these guides are what holds your valve straight, if they come out any further they will hit the retainer when the valve is compressed and will eventually start to leak around where the guide is pressed into the head. And the fact that these were able to move out is a bad thing.

Replacing the head is to correct this issue and flatness or sealing isn't a reason to keep running it.
