I hope someone can help me out! I have a 1939 F-20 that I purchased last summer. When I got it,it had sat in a barn for a couple of years and the radiator was shot. I purchased a new radiator and put it in, but it leaked in a few places around the seals. Since this time, I have had to take the radiator off and replaced the gaskets and gaskets sealer going on my fourth time because it continues to leak after being put back together. The last time I even took extra care, made sure all the surfaces were clean and gasket sealer covered all the surfaces. I put it back together, filled it up, and guess what, yes it leaks again, but not in the same spots. Can someone help me on a good gasket sealer or any advise on getting this to seal. I am getting tired of working on it. Thanks!

What kind of gaskets are you using Mike? I rebuilt a few F-20 radiators several years ago and I used cork gaskets and old fashioned gasket shelac. I couldn't get cork gasket material long enough to make one piece gaskets, so I just cut joints at a forty-five angle. Made the bolt holes a bit small, and everything a close fit. Also, do you have the sheet metal pieces with the bolt holes in them that go on the outside of the flanges? The cork seemed to be thick enough to compress some when the sides were bolted on the top & bottom tanks. Hope you have good luck with your 20. Ken
