On that motor I doubt it. How about a pic of the "gunk".
Probably just need to do a coolant flush.

Does it have the standard green antifreeze in it? I've seen some of that DexCool antifreeze turn pretty nasty with sludge floating on top.

They do have an oil passage through the head to feed the rockers.

Have the cooling system pressure tested, Make sure it will hold 10-15 psi. Keep an eye on the oil and make sure that does not turn milky.

If the cooling system will not hold the pressure, check to see if there are any external leaks. If plan on doing surgery.
Any water in the oil is a sure sign of problems as well.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
