" On an older engine with original gasket, a blown radiator hose and resulting overheat can blow the gasket and warp the aluminum head in a matter of minutes - by the time you notice the overheat, it's already to late to prevent the damage."

That's a big reason for replacing the rad at 10 years--brittle plastic neck results in possible cataclysmic failure.
