Running with no radiator

Okay, my radiator blew apart and I am assuming the head gasket blew but I ma not sure now. I hooked up a by pass pipe to connect the hoses. I took out the thermstat. I checked that I can turn the crank with a wrench. No hydro lock. The oil level hasn't changed. After sitting all day it started right up and ran. No smoke in the exhaust. I ran it until the temperature came up to normal. So this is not making any sense to me Any Ideas? If I put in a new radiator I am afraid it will just blow apart also. I still do not know why the radiator blew up.
