Hi Guy's just wondering why head gasketts fail when the car over heats.

But seriously why??? are they made of rubbish clearly a head gaskett does not fail near the combustion side off things with extreme heat and pressures otherwise it would fail straight away. As far as boiling goes it seems only the head gaskett fails no hoses water pump or even radiator!... the cap will even expell the pressure build up.

Just something I was pondering driving to work this morning.

Cheers
