Bullet ends are just done by running the guide against a grinding wheel! They are not that wonderful - only really important when much other work has been done to the head. Should NOT be done to exhaust guides - they need all the help they can to conduct heat away from the valve stem - the bullet thing is only for inlets.

If you are going to employ an engineer why not get him to put bullet ends on the guides before he fits them?
