Best Answer

A specially designed Radiator Cap makes the radiator pressurized. The caps releases the extra pressure and expanded coolant into a small tank, and sucks the dispelled water back in the radiator when the engine cools condensing the coolant. This guarantees no loss of coolant and saves you from checking and refilling the radiator daily like the old cars without pressurized radiator. Newaz.

Would the head going cause a new radiator to blow or vise versa so which failed first the new radiator or the new head gasket?

A blown head gasket will pressurise the cooling system sometimes to the extent of blowing the radiator. A blocked radiator will cause a lack of coolant flow and overheating, which can cause head gasket failiure. Without inspecting the vehicle there is now way to tell which component failed first.
