Default Valve guides replacing

The head from my own engine has a rough cam bearing and one bad lobe on the cam shaft. Bought a used head and cam shaft. The newer head has one valve guide that has part of it broke off (1/8 inch 1/2 of the diameter one the end away from the valve head). The motor had run with the guide broke as there is carbon build up on it.

Another problem (?) is that the broken guide slid out of the head easily and slides back in up to the retaining clip.

After reading the service manual it looks like I have a tough fix or is it no fix?
