What is the expected life span of a Peugeot 307 head gasket?
Most head gaskets do in fact last the life of the car. The major cause of a head gasket failiure is lack of antifreeze in the system. antifreeze contains corrosion inhibitors which prevent the head gasket rotting and then blowing.
Why does headgasket blow?
I interpret your question to be: Why do head gaskets (on an engine) blow-out? There can be several problems: The engine head itself might have been tightened incorrectly (misstorqued). This can happen when the engine was first assembled or after a repair. When this happens the pressure on the gasket in not even and not tight enough in places, so the gas pressure of the engine finds the weak spot. The gasket might be defective. Most gaskets have multiple layers bonded together. If the bonding is not correct or a gasket layer was misscut, again, the gas pressure will find the weak spot. The engine head or cylinder block could be warped. This can happen when an engine severely overheats. The two components will not bed the gasket properly and the result can be a blown gasket. The gasket could have simply worn out. They do have a life expectancy and require replacement when the engine ages.

How often do the intake manifold gaskets need to be replaced on a 1999 Pontiac Grand AM SE?
Theoretically, under normal operating conditions, and proper maintenence, intake manifold gaskets should last for the entire life of the vehicle. To my knowledge, there is no prescribed routine replacement interval for intake manifold gaskets. Of course anytime a head(s) is removed, then new gaskets should be used in reassembly.
