I wouldn't worry as much about pulling the head as for pulling the oil pan and inspecting the bearings (which are definitely babbitt) and oil distribution tube. You should be able to get a good look at the lower part of the cylinders as well.

You can also pull the valve cover to check for stuck valves. Much easier than pulling the head.
