Explain the head gasket leak ?

The chrysler neons engine dies if you do this and run em hard.(foaming)- so its no good to be high if the sump doesent tolerate it. But on the otherside i´ve worked with a guy who had a bad oilpress sw and he keept filling oil until he had to complain to the gas station that there were not room for any moore- and that engine survived. VW 1.6 jetta ca-78. It sounded funny thou- like a washing mashine!

I run my mom's car a half quart over-filled and it didn't hurt the UOA or engine any. I've been doing it for over 10,000 miles (at 5k OCI's) now and no problems at all. For the last oil change however, I bumped up the oil filter size to make up for the extra capacity, now it's only probably overfilled by maybe 1/4 quart.
