I wouldn't go that far. But I'd check occasionally for white dried coolant stains on the head seams. That's your warning that the heads are leaking but the leak is so slow it's evaporating before it can drip.

That's just my opinion after reading the list for a while, though -- I have a diesel, so this is academic for me.
