They will come out, no problem. Push them UP, if you have to.
I got a 1275 head for nix that was rusted right through the #3 inlet seat (it had been left in the weather).
I turned up a valve seat from 4140, bored the port to suit, and GR shrink fitted it and remachined the seat. Good to go...

so i took my rocker cover off today and found no numbering at all apart from a letter 'A' on the RHR most area. then I saw it on the outside of the head half hidden under the RH engine support bracket.
From what I could see the last numbers are 29C6. I didnt take off the bracket to see the rest as doing so makes coolant go everywhere lol.

Any ideas to the head type?

It sounds like a late head, the number is under the bracket.
It's probably just a CAM4004. Are there 4 holes in the front of the head near the spark plugs?
Like this one (but not same head, this is a 1275)

If so yeah it's a CAM4004, 998 smog head. Not the best for mods, a 202 needs way less work.
