No, you don't.  And you never did.  As previously stated, it's the hardened valve seats that make that so.  The water coolers of the day had the seats machined into the cast iron head - softer than ours (but they don't fall out).

Lead is also used to increase octane so you do still need to make sure you're not pinging with the gas you use.
