Note to the OP: If you use Loctite 680, or it's equivalent from other makers, those cups will be installed almost permanently and it will take high heat to remove them. If you go that route, I'd buy a brand new headset with cartridge bearings so the cups never have to be removed again.
Which is why I go by the product number, and not the colour, but point taken. Yeah, it's almost as good as welding the parts in there.
