not if they are wet sleeves you can pull them and put them back in with a press

The head on those engines are well know for cracking between the valves. Did you check close for cracks? My next door neighbor has one and I know he's had the head off it 4 times. Next time I talk to him I'll ask for some details.

You can go over to yesterdays tractors web site and they have a MF forum that may give you answers much faster than here also.
