as you can see I've moved your post out of the FAQ thread, that thread was supposed to be locked. besides, did you really need to quote the entire FAQ thread?

The cooling system runs normally around 12 PSI.
However if you ran the car without coolant and got the engine super hot there is a chance of a blown head gasket, but usually that much extra pressure will cause the coolant overflow bottle to .....well overflow.

Before you start the car in the morning, top off the radiator and with the radiator cap still off - start the engine.
If you immediately see bubbles from the radiator, you've a blown Head Gasket.
The Radiator cap itself can cause problems, but rarely.
