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.
