Radiator Hose pressure extremly high,what can cause this headgasket?
my radiator and heater hoses keep popping,the hoses have so much pressure.what can cause this a bad head gasket adding pressure into the system?its not like they keep popping the ones that i replace dont break again.i believe cylinder pressure is releasing into the cooling system,ive herd that you can check this by seeing if there is exhaust gas coming from the coolant overflow

Are you saying that everytime you replace it with a new hose it keeps blowing up?????

Sounds like you have a leaking headgasket.
What PSi is your radiator cap rated at? That should be the thiong that releases the energy before your hose gives way.
Do you have radiator fluid or just water?

which hose is popping off? the inlet hose or outlet hose? both? probably water pump or thermostat or maybe even the radiator cap like the others said.
a lot of people, while dealing with overheating problems, blow their money on other parts while it could be something as simple as the radiator cap (learned from experience a while back)

That has got to be the most incorrect information I have heard in a while on here.
1) The water pump doesn't work like a air compressor and hold the pressure.
2) The thermostat? That might be the cause if it were the second Tuesday of Febunever.
3) The radiator cap would be a symptom of the issue, not the source.
You can do a cyl. leak down test if you wanted to see which cyl was the culprit, but ultimately you would find that you just need to replace the gasket.

Good question, but if it were say, the headgasket around the water jacket that had a pinhole that expanded once it reached operating temperarture...

Re: Radiator Hose pressure extremly high,what can cause this headgasket?
I have the same problem i put a new radiator hose flushed coolant and radiator is relatively new about 7 months old ' i have oil leaking from thw headgasket area onto the engine and come to a conclussion of water pump and or headgasket as theres oil leaking out hence the rest of the gasket being wrecked if you do find the culprit let me know ive had a second hose put on and it started balloning also my car idle rough when cold and high when warmed up i can safely assume gasket is causing all these problems never overheats or drives rough just idle issues and balloning will be fixing it next couple of weeks will twll you if replacing the headgaskets solves all the issues Cheerio

You do understand that you posted in a 10yrs old thread? The op probably long gone and not active on here anymore. So no, you probably wont get a respond from the op.
