That happens quite often with rebuilt heads that have been either hot tanked or baked too long or too hot. That expands the casting around the studs and they start working loose. More than likely there will be more. The best fix is to either drill and pin them or remove the pressed in studs and install screw in studs as you mentioned. Good luck on the trip to the show and back.
