well il was driving to trade my 91 CA18 hatch yesterday when going down the road it just shut off. turns out (since i had the radio blasting and i was just chillen i didnt hear it or suspect anything) i shredded a radiator hose and overheated and then toasted my head gasket.

What do you guys think could have cause the hose to blow...and what should i replace as well as the headgasket when i have the motor taken apart
