Actually yes it has been explained. Depending on the severity when valve guides go bad they will not seat properly. They can also hammer the snot out of the seat causing more damage resulting in valves that do not seal properly ultimately causing valves to burn up. Even before valves can burn gasses can get past them if the valve seat or valve has been damaged. As mentioned before the bad guides happened to two friends of mine. Whether it was N20 related or not.. who knows. The valves could've been loose in the guides and the extra cylinder pressure from N20 could've been the final dagger. I can't say for sure.
Path of least resistance? So what's the path of least resistance during the compression stroke? How about the intake/exhaust stroke? Do you believe all intake ports regardless of the head can fill a cylinder effortlessly? If so, why does the common torque curve start to peter out at a given rpm? How about the exhaust port? Do you believe 100% of all exhaust gasses escape during the exhaust stroke? Do you honestly believe a valve seal will be strong enough to resist the pressure from a cyilinder if the valve is not seated correctly especially during the exhaust stroke?
I like to explore other possibilities rather than giving some definite answer to someone when none of us have experienced this person's predicament first hand. Once again.. this is one possibility.
P.S. According to the Periodic Table of the Elements, "No" Nobelium.

Danny, you don't need to spend near that much. You may need to make some compromises, though, until you get some funds together. And some of it depends on whether or not you're equipment is just a little bruized up or completely shot.
First you need to inventory what you got to work with, then make a budget of what you can spend, then come up with a plan and talk to some builders (VRE) for instance and see what they can do for you that fits your budget and goals.
