some headsets have marginally bigger diameter than others like campag or chris king.....there are cases where you can just push the headset cups into the headtube by hand but campag,chris or some other headset will press fit fine. you will only find out when you are fitting the new one in......
also if the difference between inner diameter of the headtube and outer diameter of the cup is not too big and you dont want to buy new headset, you can use medium strenght bearing retaining compound to hold it in place
