Radiator Core for '48 DC

Dalex · May 27, 2016

We are going to replace the 3 row core with the 4 row core offered on this site( R2989 ) There isn't alot of room as it is , will the 4 row interfere with the fan ? Should I use gaskets , or would just RTV silicone sealer do a better job ? Thanks , Dale

The 3 and 4 row cores are the same size; they have to be to fit the shell. I would use gaskets.

I'm sure they are the same size header , but on my 3 row core , the blank row is on the fan side , the 4 row core will be 3/4 " closer to the fan , that was my concern .

I've used silicone on really pitted radiator tanks with fear gaskets wouldn't hold. Been 10 years and two still holding

Just replaced mine and used gaskets with RTV. figured more is gooder. Just my $.02

Gaskets with Permatex or #2 non hardening sealant, Indian Head shellac should also work, I can't believe someone hasn't made an issue about the name being politically correct, maybe it will become Native American Head shellac!
