Check
www.courtesyparts.com, when I had the upper timing chain problem with my 95, I checked there to see what I would need or what would come in the kit and they EXPRESSLY state what guides are no longer needed in the kit, suggesting that you remove them before going forward, to see if that rectifies your problem. I removed the uppermost and it cured my problem... I don't know if this applies to SOHC models.
