It is DEFINITELY a chance I would not take.
My guess would be yes. That is why the Helms Manual tells you to losen the bolts each 1/3 of a turn at a time in the proper sequence.
If the head and block are completely cooled down, that would help keep it from warping.
But I think doing that would give the head better odds to warp than not to warp.
Don't chance it! You'll probably lose.
