There is no way an overpressurized coolant tank will cause a blown head gasket. The fill cap limits the pressure to 200 kPa, about 29 psi. Those mechanics, like many who don't have technical knowledge merely make up stuff so they look smart. It only works if the customer knows even less.

Pressure cap is 29psi? Charles V. Stancampiano['91 M5] 18:55 4/13/2002 (1)
- No, I've had recall & it is 29 psi (200 kpa) Andre Pollard 14:10 4/14/2002 (0)
