Hi Captnbr;
    One of the common ways that headgaskets blow is from the fire ring =
around the piston into the water jacket and then you get excessive =
pressurization of the coolant system. I just hope he shut off the engine =
as soon as the gasket blew to avoid excessive damage to the engine.

  But wait a second, if the headgasket blew, wouldn't there be no =
pressure in the coolant system when you opened the cover?
