When your coolant reaches 240F (very hot), the system pressure is up but not enough to start 'blowing' seals. Remember, the coolant flows through the core, it doesn't stop there and build up excess pressure.

I forgot the exact pressure but it is less than 15psi, any more than that and it will be vented through the cap on the overflow bottle. That is pressure that can be held with a thumb on a hose.
