All depends on your spring pressure. They are known to pull out with heavier than stock spring pressue. Pinning is a good idea but if your going to rework the heads then I would have them machined for screw in studs. Pinning you can do yourself with a drill and the correct pins. But its reccomended that they be off the engine
