Plugged overflow line could be an issue - Even with a too high
pressure cap I'd have a hard time seeing it build up enough pressure
to make the radiator fail. If the overflow line is plugged solid,
you can build pressure until something gives the water a place to
expand into - blow off a line, bust the radiator, or whatever.
