Not necessarily. They generally go between 90 - 130k miles, Some less, and some go further. What makes the difference is the quality of coolant and regular (+/- 20K) drain, flush, and replacement of antifreeze. To a large degree, a single serious overheating event will signal the end is near also, but this can also include sleeves getting loose. (commonly, but incorrectly refered to as 'dropped liners')
